Goodbye

poetry speaks

How does it feel to be a fallen star?

Can you answer?

Before dust and skin hits the ground 

like the gentle touch of a snowflake,

can I cry oceans?

Oh glorious sea, play with crashing waves.

Forest of green let drop your lovely leaves.

In a moment it might all stop,

so for tonight,

please play me your song.

Up so high even a bird must look up;

we were floating.

What a magnificent sight.

In a place where orbs of light

meet my cheeks with lovely hands,

you watch me fall.

To many mistakes

and too little time.

You looked so lovely

moving ever so slowly;

reaching out to try and save me.

Oh what a perfect ending.

It was too late for help,

still you were coming.

I knew what this meant.

Was it because to you my tears

were to much to bare?

Were you drowning?

Ah, I see it.

Your smile. 

Oh, wondrous joy!

How happy we are right now.

Never could we be better.

I know it to be true.

As we fell like shooting stars,

pain became nothing.

The others that still shined 

were the ones who hurt.

I'm sorry.

We held together skin to skin,

then next we were dust;

hitting the ground

with the gentle touch of a snowflake.

And as we did,

the stars cried like oceans.

Oh glorious sea, catch us with your gentle waves.

Forest of green, we see you weeping with your love filled leaves.

In one moment,

It all stopped.

And for tonight,

You played us our favorite song.
