A Long Goodbye

I put a red silk sheet over me Pretending that I’m dead Trying to forget all the words you ever said As pain slowly fills my body I think of all the good times we had But they all just made me mad Quickly erasing them from my mind Your picture comes into my head And I can’t help but start to cry As my tears roll down my face Onto my bed I dream of someone giving me a piece of paper Saying (Death) Not thinking I quickly sign it Then I felt something grind into my wrist I make a fist to make it bleed more After that I remember feeling sore As I wake up sweating I look down at my bloody arm I remember your charm And as I say a long goodbye to the world I say I love you I hope you understand that this is what I have to do To make this love true
