"The End"

Until today,
There was this smile.
Now it's this way,
And I dread every mile-
That I travel
From bar to bar,
As every inch of me unravels,
And that smile is so far.

She brightened every morning,
This was too good to be true,
I should have heed the warning,
But I'm such a fool for you.
And now as I lay here
In this speechless breeze,
My only fear,
Fills me with all but ease.

Oh, how the trees grow black,
And my eyes begin to fade.
I still pray you to come back,
Before the consequences are weighed.
I know though now,
That when I'm all but anything
Hope isn't just how,
But it's everything.

I hope, so dearly,
For that one "Someday"
As I stagger so wearily,
And so far away.
Who would've thought
This could end so quick,
But now that it's brought
My blood turns thick.

And now as I reminisce-
Through all the times-
Of every single kiss,
And of all the passionate rhymes.
I have come to find,
This was over before we met.

Now that I'm so far behind,
And the sun has set.
I bleed through you once more,
Paper and Pen,
As my heart showed me the door,
My mind tells me of the end.
