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
