Chapter 9: Goodbye

Poems 2Words: 1273

You see buildings crumbling

falling into the sea

broken bridges none can cross

when you look at me

You heart is bleeding

pierced by shards of glass

obscured misty memories

all line up the path

Nowhere to hide

nowhere to lie

You walk the empty streets

exploring on your own

ducking behind corners

to make sure you're alone

You cry gentle tears

when the Sun goes down

slipping inside your bed

no one ever comes around

The end is here

and I'm not near

You sit at the edge

and look up to the sky

consumed by the abyss

you just don't know why

You trudge through the rivers

water rising to your knees

endless problems drowning

wondering what it means

You want me back

I want you back

You see the stars collide

how they explode

once were shining bright

now they're not anymore

You don't know what to do

when things get like this

running from the truth

remembering our first kiss

You stay back

I won't be back

You don't know how to laugh

when I'm not by your side

like a bird with broken wings

who will never fly

You no longer see yourself

reflected in my eyes

regretting the day

we had to say goodbye

You know that

we had to say goodbye

even though it hurts

we had to say goodbye

You're looking at me baby

and I just can't say goodbye
