A Lover's Goodbye

Flashing lights
Shining against my skin
Red and Blue
Noise deafening 
Close the eyes to escape such fears
Shadows have overtaken me
Drifting desperate to escape 
Please 
Please take me 
Sinking underwater
Thrashing against 
The frozen touch 
Of the drowned 
Faces 
So many Faces 
All of the past
All of the present
Please 
Silence 
At last
Drifting with no goal
Please 
Drifting with despair tearing at my heart
Please
Thoughts flood 
Overwhelming delicately
Please 
Sweet taste of vanilla 
Freezing my mouth
As rain jumps on my skin
Please
A note bringing tidings
Of my lover’s feelings
Please 
Despair at the cold hand
Of a silver haired beauty
Closed and Imprisoned
Please           
Underwater     
Seeing the rainbow
Of fish flutter by
Please    
Bubbles passing above
Please 
A hug of love 
By family bonded by desperation
After a devastating fit of insanity
Please
One,Two,Three
Dejection, Death, Despair
One, Two, Three 
Happiness, Intimacy, Endearment
One, Two, Three
Abandonment, Violence, Destruction
One, Two, Three
Touches, Kisses, Embraces
All gone 
At one slip
Please
Hands swarm around
Pulling my limp body
I embrace them as friends
Time has run out
Death has taken 
Souls of the night
Please
