Rises The Moon by Liana Flores

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