Goodbye

Dedicated to A former best friend. It’s hard as you grow older, you grow apart.

 

I have seen hundreds of nighttimes just like this

Stars ablaze until they rupture bursting into flames

Fading into pitch black

Reminds me the lights I used to keep 

Have gone away

 

Nothing ever stays from here on out

I was the bridge each individual I used to know

Had to cross

In order to dream brighter

Paint their skies more vivid color

 

I was just a remanence of their youth

A fast shimmering glitter in those eyes

A spark of hope to ignite the flame

In which their fire would grow so bright

 

I just never could be underneath those fiery  skies 

Their candle to be lit

Their lantern to keep them warm

 

Our coldness combined could never survive

 

Don’t look  for the ones I knew

I’ve seen a thousand tears 

Gazed into my mirrors 

Their reflection now lost

 

I’m stronger for the strength keeps me vital

I’m wiser for the honesty keeps me knowledgeable 

 

To always know that in one second

We blink

We breathe 

We speak

Change is the force

Not to be wrecking with

 

I’ve seen this thousands of times

Just as the day we were born 

Was the day we died
