Last Words .

let me go.
just let me fly away.
they'll never know,
i just cant bear to stay.
floating above all the clouds,
i see you,
you look happy now.
and in plain view,
you flash her a smile.
this was all i wanted.
why did you care so much?
did you not want to be haunted,
to admit you need a crutch?
admit maybe you're hollow,
nothing real ever was.
too much for you to swallow,
as the lines, they turned to fuzz?
well i'm gone now,
and will be forever more...
as i look down,
as i see you close the door.
just answer me this:
what were you waiting for?
i died that very minute.
you knew that very day.
and still you tried to spin it,
it was you who ran away.
and as you killed my spirit,
as the light seeped from my eyes,
i knew you had to hear it:
"nothing true ever dies."

Don't Let Go .

I still sleep on the right side of the bed,
I know you liked the left.
And when night falls,
I remember those calls,
And I convince myself you’re running late,
Working at a job I know you hate.
But you do it for me,
And for now, that’s how it has to be.
This house was once filled with laughter-
Overflowing with “happily ever afters.”
Now, the silence pierces my ears.
You have manifested my worst fears.
I wake, and make us both coffee…
Get the paper-I grab you a copy.
And when I’m laying in bed at nght,
I still talk to you-
Wondering if you hear me-but I know you do.
Because I feel you here,
And when I’m scared, I still pull you near.
It’s too bad that they don’t see,
You’re a part of me.
They don’t feel you like I do,
Telling me to start anew.
But, to me, you’re more alive than ever,
And I know our souls will never sever.

nothing left to give .

I miss you.
You’re here, but you’re not.
I need you,
I don’t care what I thought.
Why can’t it stay the same?
You’re not who you used to be.
Do you even know my name?
Another fallout unforeseen.
And to me, you’re a drug
Give a little, I want more.
A wet finger in the electrical plug-
Pain I’m begging for.
Make me miserable,
Because without your misery, I don’t live.
Take it all,
I have nothing left to give.
