Goodnight

This poem is based on the song Helena by My Chemical Romance


Losing you...

Slipping away...

Losing the grip...

It all went up in flames

That night when it all fell apart.

The blade...

Glides across

Staining and scaring...

We hold on...

To the edge of breaking

It is all lost...

You lost all...

Love, friends, life

So long...

Goodbye...

I can't go...

I must stay.

So long...

Have a goodnight...

Tears streak my face

With black lines

Forever etched there...

To match my soul

I can't go...

I must stay...

Trust me...

Things will be better this way

Nothing stays the same...

So many hearts...

Broken...

But I keep hanging on...

So you just carry on..

And move along...

Though your gone..

Can you hear me?

Are you near me?

I promise we will meet again...

Or at least we can pretend..

So you just carry on...

I must stay...

So long...

Goodnight
