Goodbye For Now

Trapped
Gasping for breath
Can’t reach the surface
Trying to break free.
The final tears
Of goodbye shed
A forgotten loss
A staggering failure
A broken heart on the sleeve
Thrown out
With yesterday’s trash
A shriek from
Beyond the grave
A shiver creeping
Up my spine
I’m forced to remember
The pain of the lost.
Not enough water
To wash these stains
To wash the blood
To restore innocence
To restore life.
You’re too far gone,
I can’t get you back.
Wait for me,
I’ll see you again someday.
Don’t forget me,
I can’t forget you.
