One Last Walk

One Last Walk


Falling, falling faster as my world comes crashing in
Shattered into pieces, a fragmented puzzled man

Blind sided catastrophically, recovery seems so rare
Wide eyed, open mouthed, jaw dropped into nowhere

What I thought so perfect, you thought the other way around
Cardiac arrest, dead chest, breath of no air, voice without sound

The pain in me categorically a level 10 on a disastrous scale
Falling through open space, a hopeless Jack A$$ with no tail

I thought that we were happy, I thought you were my best friend
Was it that easy to forget me, is he that much better of a man

If I die I'll go peacefully if true happiness is what you've found
This I thought you had with me as I smile teeth first into the ground

Please, please just remember me, look to the stars I'll be right there
My love for you is unconditionally, your Guardian Angel of despair

You have infected my entire Being, every part of me loves you so
One last time please hold my hand and walk with me before I go...
