The Moon and the Ladder

Tell me the story of the night before.
Did it end too late or too soon?
Did you wish on the concrete moon?

Tell me the story of the night before.
How your head made a promise that your heart can't keep.
Did the words still hurt you in your sleep?

Tell me the story of the night before.
Did you make a wish on the neon stars?
Did you mistake a metal ladder for more bars?

Tell me the story of the night before.
How you drank face to face with your fears.
Have you have haunted them for years?

Tell me the story of the night before.
Were you breath to breath again, neck to jaw?
Is it respite you want or something more?

Tell me the story of the night before.
How the light rained down from above.
Do you forgive yourself everything but love?
