Farewell
i bid farewell
to those i love, as well as those i hate
to those who plea
goodbye
for tragedy calls to me
now all i must do
is reach out to thee
the last witness to my memory
for how could i possibly live
knowing i will one day forget
years of thoughts i have carefully
sown into my head
somehow these unwanted pieces of my life
aren’t ready to let go of me yet
all i have left is
the hope that someday
you will find
in a letter buried underground
the feelings i have yet to leave behind
i bid farewell
to those i love, as well as those i hate to those who plea
goodbye
for tragedy calls to me
now all i must do
is reach out to thee
the last witness to my memory
who knows when it’s coming
if it’s worth the wait
is it alright for me to just sit here
expecting fate to take place?
will the world live to forget
the images that play over and over in my head somehow these unwanted pieces of my life aren’t ready to let go of me yet
