The image is of daytime waning moon, that is barely visible in a cloudy sky

Oh, my waning moon.
Where are you?
I cannot hear you.
My eyes are open,
I cannot see you

Oh, my waning moon.
Where have you gone?
I cannot find you.
My heart is empty
Without you.

Oh, my waning moon.
My hands are numb.
Are you up there?
Can I reach out
And touch you?

Oh, my waning moon.
Why did you go so soon?

My heart is empty
Without you.
