Hello, guys. I just wrote another poem and wanted to share it with you. If you read my previous ones you probably know that my poems are very sad and this one is no exception. So, you have been warned.
FINAL GOODBYE
Long forgotten echoes fill your mind
As you run down the empty street.
Behind you there is only mist.
Like a dark veil, following you,
Its monsters whispering
With their ominous voices.
Words that you cannot hear,
Words that make you clench your fists
As your steps sound across the deserted town.
Around you there are only ruins,
Homes that once sheltered great dreams,
That have been buried under the ashes of forget ness.
In the distance you can see ink-black towers
Rising to the bleeding sky,
Their fiery crowns scorching the dreams of many.
Around them you see the others.
They see you running past them,
But they do not care,
As they live in the shadow
Of the destroyers of worlds.
You press on, knowing that your goal lies
In the great gorge before you.
Reaching its ledge, you look down:
The eternal oblivion calls you,
As you feel its dark fingers reaching for you,
Promising you something great.
You close your eyes, knowing it is the only way
And you let yourself fall.
But no!
A warm hand catches your shoulder,
The abyss closing beneath your feet.
Time stops, everything fades in the distance
As your world clashes with hers.
She is like your mirror,
Her eyes telling a sad tale.
But she is a dreamer who rose
Above the stormy clouds of the world,
To become a lonely star on an indifferent sky.
You are like her, but your dreams lie
Locked inside the ice tomb that is your heart.
She tries to take your hand,
But you reject her as you try to hide
The boiling ocean inside you,
The raging maelstrom in your clockwork mind.
You want to cry with her,
To drown your pain in an ocean
Made from your tears.
But your face is of stone
And your silence chases her away.
She fades away like a dream
And you find yourself alone again
On the cold street.
The stars go out, night falls
As the mist reaches you,
Its ghosts haunting your world.
But darkness is patient,
Opening the abyss once more.
You raise your eyes one last time
And see two shooting stars
Over the blue horizon
Holding each other’s hands,
Hope burning bright in their hearts.
She sees you jump and tries to reach out for you,
But all you can do is say your final goodbye
As oblivion gives you its dark embrace.
Darkness is sweet...
