Rises The Moon by Liana Flores

Days (1)________ sometimes as if they'll (2)__________ end
Sun (3)________ its heels to taunt you
But (4)__________ sunlit days, one thing (5)__________ the same
Rises the moon
Days fade (6)________ a watercolour blur
Memories (7)________ and haunt you
But look (8)________ the lake, shimmering like smoke
Rises the moon
Oh-oh, close your weary eyes
I promise you (9)________ soon the autumn comes
To darken fading summer skies
Breathe, breathe, breathe
Days pull you down just like a sinking ship
Floating is (10)______________ harder
But tread the water, child, and know (11)________ meanwhile
Rises the moon
Days pull you up (12)________ (13)________ a daffodil
Uprooted from its garden
They'll (14)________ you (15)________ you owe, but (16)________ (17)________ so
Rises the moon
You'll be (18)______________ by sleep
I promise you (19)________ (20)________ the autumn comes
To (21)__________ away (22)________ (23)__________ you keep
Breathe, breathe, breathe
