Au Revoir

Blank pages scribed with hate Empty voices scream my name Poison lingers down my throat It was time to let go Deep thoughts and shallow waves My heart screams of a pallid taste Made to be let and then forget On my token I would bet Eyes leak tears in pathetic notion I can see where this is going Forget your sanity and your love Patience is a thing of not to withhold Maybe id cry a little less, If you had just kept your last promise. I fell asleep on a train track road Never hearing the horn They say it hits you when you least expect it But I didn't need to be warned What I remember, wasn't the sunset or how they danced in the sky A flash of light to say goodbye All to the thought of smoke and mirrors In the dark you see their faces weep But for what we'll never know A shattered heart lays on the floor No help ascending for her This soul's trapped in between Unfinished business like a child's mer-mers She felt the heat of the burning candles three hundred in alignment She'll never feel the rays of the sun A stair case led to no specific location With destination left unsaid In end of last sentence she desires, one last cry The day she left not one soul morned And bitter faces sat so scorned An ending of existence left unsaid To only in her heart, the rest of her was pardoned in absence of her concluded One morning rather night Sparked a fire caught by cruelty One too many stories left unread Only marked in ink, replaced by roses and silk woven without feeling To leave I would be sorry To stay I'd ache to go Final realization Beats through my heart more than you'd know I'd beg to be forgiven Forever live with guilt But in a sense the world has shaken and I'd try to recluse I would decline your offer, of eternal love Just to be mistaken for a ticket less above She foreshadows of a future And forever be ignored Yet is screaming from an answer; Only inside her heart In slow motion she has fallen at the rate of a bullets cry Fast forward, is broken and the devil only knows why Only the good days are forgotten Where the bad ones just break ties Her sorrow gets a little louder when the moon is in the sky They'd all be better off with out the burden she holds And inside a fist of anger, their truth is behold Zippered lips hold their secrets and bundles lies Hearts break, thoughts and moments shattered To the sound of their breathless cries
