Last Act

All I did, I did it for them All the lies I told, the truth condemned In the end they came to hate me And that is my penance, mine to bear for eternity The memories I erased as their souls I killed The emptiness I left, the loneliness; the chill For them, they can re start, the freshness anew While I waste in the darkness, my purpose askew For to protect the ones that I loved the most I became the villain, the enemy, the ghost The something deep within their minds The one forgotten, so well known for a time Because the memories associated with me Were also filled with great fear and uncertainty I will always cherish what I had, my friends But for you to live on, it all had to end The time that we spent, together as we You shall never remember and never re-see For what we became, broke your mind and soul It dragged us all down, to the bottom that called So for you all to rise, I must be the one to fall Even further down and take with me your soul Broken and wounded to the bottom I sunk To the evil, the darkness and your memories I clung This is my last act of friendship, unseen from above The strength of my conviction, the choice made from love So please forget me and always live on For the light from your lives must always stay strong. Never let anyone’s sacrifice be made in vain, it was their choice so you must accept it and move on because nothing you or anyone else says is going to change the fact that their gone, you here and that life sometimes sucks. It’s from the choices we make in the aftermath that help define who we are....
