Three Words

Three Words

A Poem by oranges_melt
"

Do I have to???

"

I like to wonder why,
sand slips thru my toes,
and when I cry by myself,
the evil joy of my foes.

When the world won't seem to end,
though I see them die by day,
there isn't much I can do,
there isn't a word I can say.

When the world seems to end,
when a friend is dead,
but you have nothing to say,
when you feel God's ray.

And my mother's always told me,
to always read between the lines,
but then I wonder to myself,
what if there aren't, the signs?

And when you know it's their day,
and when they die,
you don't have anything to say,
but a breath of a sigh.

And you're sorry because,
you stole the last kiss,
and you're sorry, because,
you're afraid that I will miss.


But you know what you'd don't?
when you're willing to let them go,
they'll be happy to smile,
and you'll see it when they show.

and you know those three words,
but you don't know what to say,
instead you cry your eyes out,
and lay out on the bay.

but you don't know how to say it,
you don't know how to die,
and you know you love them enough,
for them, you would lie.

you wish you could believe them,
every single lie,
but deep down you know for sure,
one heart beat, they will die.

but for all the stars in forever,
that sit up in the sky,
are glowing at you wonderful,
and you utter a goodbye.

because when you want to say,
those last three words today ,
before he is dead,
and theres nothing to say.

what do you say,
to someone you love,
to someone who will die,
and watch you from above.

I know I can't prevent the future,
and you know I hear those birds,
the chirping softly rings a bell,
and I whisper three damn words.
