Surely time will dull it down I hope,
Because right now it's awfully raw.
The gaping wound is gushing,
A twist is in my gut.
All the world is shaking,
The trembling just won’t stop.
A future of dreams,
A death of every could be,
All lie lifeless at the ring of just one shot.
Could it be that this is the plan,
Or consequence of a mistake?
Did my ears choose deafness,
Did I refuse my eyes to open?
Perhaps I selfishly chose this,
All to end up broken.
There is no words that bear the pain,
No poem to do it justice.
Comatose, habitual breaths,
Only teardrops and sorrow,
A dreary trudge,
And a hug gone by tomorrow.
This ending is unworthy of everything we built,
It’s shameful and gruesome,
Our broken souls’ guilt.
Happiness is perspective,
It does not exist without pain.
True love can not be gained or lost,
Without some great sacrifice.
I’ll stand watch while it fades,
Perhaps time will wash it away.
Leaving scars and proud flesh,
A brave bandage as proof of the price we paid.
A story of what once was,
The history of us.
Built and gone,
Dust to dust.
