Never said goodbye

by mimzy   Jun 30, 2006


Caught my tears, using your hand
Blocked my screams by deafening you
Forever lonely, here I'll stand
Dreaming of a saviour to pull me through

As I dug my grave
So quietly and slow
Feeling the life dripping out of me
Feeling you letting go

Shutting out the angels
who appeared on my side
Faithful to a corpse
who forced me to hide

As I erased your memory
Torn diary pages
There was nothing left of me
But the fake smile on my face

Deciding not to put you through this
Deciding to let go
I forced myself
To follow a lonely, long road

As I slowly turned to never look back
Preparing a journey that would never end
I looked at your photograph, one last time
That's when I realized I forgot to say goodbye

    This has such a melancholic tone and yet its completely beautiful and I know how much stuff like this can hurt. You wrote the words that so many of us feel and to place ourselves in our own little heaven like that...is liberating in a way. We can express what we want, and we can paint the most beautiful image that coincides with our true feelings.

    This was so good!
