A Sweeter Goodbye ((Has never been written))

Tonight I'm gonna lay this pen down
and sleep under the star,
just a-waiting for the nightmares to come...
they seep out from the scars.

And every word's a waste of time,
every half-sung melody.
Failing, falling, crying, calling...
for nobody to see.

I will never be a poet,
and as I sing these words to myself
I realize it doesn't matter
that I put my pen on the shelf.

And I don't know why the tears are falling.
My voice as it gets loud.
I'm falling down now, dear,
and does it make you proud?

I repeat myself a thousand times
over and over again.
Broken records, they grow old
when they pour forth from a broken pen.

The candles all burn low,
reflect starlight in my tears.
I hate to say goodbye now,
but this is the end, my dear.

**Yeah. i think...that's all I've got left in me.**
