When I Say Goodbye

You’ll be gone soon.

You’ll be dead

The day I start to live;

I’ll drift you away

Like a feather in space...

I bid you farewell.

Alive

Happy to be alive

Amongst mangled, skeletal remains,

In the afterthought of life…

Lost in ambiguity,

Life gushing through severed veins.

Happy to be alive,

Happily undone and undead -

Like a chapter unfinished,

Like a letter that was never read.

I bask in your toxic existence,

Reminiscent of ash and dust;

I flirt with the dark shadows,

And watch love evaporate to lust.

I chase swirls of blackened smoke

And follow you into the unlit road,

I see a monster in the mirror…

I am exactly what you showed.
