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
