When Eclipse Fight

My tone deaf love sang a song for me
Picked some flowers and made me a coffee
Cuddled my morning out, kissed me
Even off beat, danced just to make me happy.

He sat on the couch and watched me play
my guitar music that sings my love away
he glanced again and when I looked
on tears, he said I gave a love that no one could pay.

Words don't seem strange but mind the feels
Sort of a feeling like I'm on top of a hill
Trying hard to embrace the nature's beauty
But feared the heights, so just stood still.

Embracing me like there's no tomorrow
Suddenly I felt the hidden sorrow
He said he'll be gone for a while
told me to take care, and give him a smile.

Then eclipse came in the morning and night
made me fight a battle that's not right
covered the rays of the sun, and hope was out of sight
and the struggling moon kept me awake at night.

Used mirror to see my sun shine
Saw a picture of a hope that soon I'll see mine
But the eclipse faded the view when it moved
Took a deep sigh and drank my wine.

It hurts when eclipse fight
When you long for a welcoming sunlight
And all you see are dying plants
Like sad people dying to make his cross light.

It kills when eclipse stay long to take the life
When all you can do is stare outside
and reminisce your lovely mornings
until you sleep on your chair and pain comes inside.

One day, somebody told me to call God
For, He feels I'm in pain, but wants me to be glad
Because when the burdens are heavy and bad
It's you that He'd carry and weights that He'd grab.

So I asked Him to be with me and guide me
Put the sun and moon in place for me
to see a brighter day full of birds and trees
to have a good night's sleep and joy be with me.

Soon the eclipse will die and put things back to normal
Soon I'll see myself smiling genuinely
Soon there are no more sleepless nights really
...and soon he will come and say, "I'm home!".

God, please be with me.

The opening two stanzas are very strong indeed, and I like the rhyme scheme you've chosen!
