Poetry: Good-bye

by David Kamikaze

Created on: June 21, 2009

Did I really mean it? I don't know what to say,
It seemed so natural and I'd do it again.
Don't ask if there was meaning in the things I have done,
I did what I wanted and those things can't be undone.

When you took my hand on that lonely night
You banished the darkness, brought me to life.
But I am careless, maybe I grew too blind
Or maybe I'm reckless and can't be confined...



Please don't ask me if I'm not in love.
I stood there with you, isn't that enough?
I know that at times it has been tough...
Words are failing, but to words I succumb.

It's like I am sleeping, like I've been lost in a dream,
Lost for a lifetime in the light that you bring.
I've no excuses, at least none you want to hear.
Your tears are the music and they sound more sincere.

Please stop asking because I don't know.
The questions are twisted, the answers are wrong.
I've never hated the love you shared,
There was just nothing like it in the heart I bear...

I'm not Prince Charming. I never will be.
I'm someone lost in things I have never seen
And with every passing day I yearn for more,
There's a world that is waiting for me to explore.

I don't want to be the man of your dreams
Since the lies would be obvious and hard to believe.

I didn't come to crawl back in your life...
I only came to say one thing.
I want to say goodbye.
