The Last Goodbye
the hardest thing is letting go
goodbyes were never my thing
memories are the enemy
when someone close to you dies
a piece of your heart slowly fades away
and at some point you forget whats happening
you forget how to smile
you realize they aren't coming back so why hold on
why face all the sadness and fear
why must things be so hard
when they disappear
why fear what helps you the most
why be afraid if you see there ghost
when that part of your heart breaks its hard to regain the strength
its hard to mend the pieces
its hard to erase the memory
most of all its a ***** to numb the pain
nothing works
nothing wants to help
it eats at you like its got you in its grasp
when someone you love dies your empty you don't know where to turn or what to do
your scared of being alone
even when they were near
its hard to forget..
its hard to ignore...
its hard to get over...
what your heart goes through to be okay
what your mind does to solve its pain
what you'd do just to bring them back
what you'd give just to say im sorry
emotions run wild when you lose someone
your not yourself
you question things you use to be positive about
you push people away to isolate yourself from more pain
is this what its like to be alive but feel so dead
is this what its like to want to forget what meant so much
why did they have to go when it wasn't their time
what could such an innocent person do to deserve death
why is it so cold once they are gone
being numb isn't an issue
its the hold it has on you
its the life it drains outta you
trying to be strong only brings more pain
trying to smile when you feel like dying
the desire to move on only makes it worse
you lose what your thoughts were
what your dreams where suppose to be
what goals no longer matter
what life even is worth anymore
troubling thoughts come and go
disturbing images fade in and out
what is death
the thing we fear most
the thing that rips us apart
the thing that is made to make us suffer
the energy drainer the reason you become hollow
losing touch with reality starts to kick in
losing all hope takes over
empty
lonely
dead inside
no where to go
no one to turn to
nothing can help you
no not even yourself
is this really how its gonna end?
