goodbye

entry picture

In a haze of fear

The end is near

This is my last year

Soon i shall go my dear..

 

You'll miss me i hope

But i know you will cope

Please do not mope

As i look for the rope..

 

I could swallow tablets in bed

A bullet to my head

Or leave blood gush from my wrists instead

Don't you worry, i'll do it before we're wed..

 

A tear just fell from my eye

I just can't live this lie

It's just my time to die

goodbye my prince, goodbye.

death

◄ Goodbye Childhood

I Want to be you ►

In a breath
We were born to die
The initial wonder
And the opening cry
Every foundation
A little white lie
Living too pure
To say goodbye

And as we go on
year after year
Haggling a price
That's still too dear
While every fall
Inflates our fear
Praying for the end
To be finally near

Day follows day
In one languid mope
Peddlers peddle peddling
Infinities of false hope
And love barely fetches
The price of old rope
As minds scar deeply
In an effort to cope

I wake on the morning
That I will be wed
Hot in my arms
My head against her head
A vision of beauty
In a sheet stained bed
We could get up
But sleep on instead

Perhaps I should have taken a leaf out of this book before I got wed? It might have saved me an agonising slow death.

Only joking of course - I wouldn't be without the ensuing prodigy.

A nice light hearted piece Melanie - I hope!
