Farewell
Today I'll bid you fond wishes
My blessing in a mortar shell
It pleases me, to bite my tongue
To wish you and your escort well
I'll writhe a bit in neutral space
And work away my mental dues
It hurts me so, I will admit
To feel the hiss that flows from you
As of now, as always 'til
I'll write of you for ten long years
My words not bitter, not by me
But justified by scolds and jeers
I am so small, so sad and still
I breathe in light to breath out flame
Poison sighs, the past denies
The memories will keep me up all night
I meant no harm, I promised then
My promises will never end
But I will crumble, it all depends
On just how far my will extends
Ode to thee, my reason past
You kept me moving when I had none left
And with your leave, I can't recall
The meaning behind our love at all
But you feel right, where you've strayed
You've picked up something more than I
I'll bleed to death a thousand ways
But at least I know you're fine
And in the deep I will tend my wounds
As I have for all my days
And I'll piece together something sound
To convince me that I'm still okay
The innocence that steadies me
Will slowly drift aside
And I'll be left with no one new
To tell me I'm all right.
