PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Let’s exchange this sound for silence instead

It’s a little bit too loud in here

It’s hard to whisper when the sirens are screaming overhead

But one day my voice and message will be heard crystal clear



Let’s exchange this cold, dirty ground for a comfortable bed

My body can no longer take the pain

It’s hard to sleep in clean sheets with all of the tears and bloodshed

But one day our atrocious resolutions will be washed away by the rain



Don’t ask the questions

When the answer is war

Don’t run in circles

When it brings you right back to where you were once before



We fell for the bait and hook again

That glistening ball counting down the final seconds I have left with her

We promised that the New Year would bring a fresh start

But we were to naïve to realize that nothing changes after the end of December



…And if you never say “goodbye” then we’ll always remember our last “hello”

So if you truly love me…then it’s time to let me go…



Let’s exchange this violence for freedom instead

It’s a little bit too hectic in here

It’s hard to touch the sun when there are bombs falling overhead

But one day that ball of fire in the sky will shine crystal clear



Let’s exchange this battlefield for a growing garden instead

My eyes can no longer take the pain

It’s hard to look outside when all your fellow comrades are dead

But one day our differences will be washed down the drain



Don’t beg for answers

When the question is war

Don’t run in figure eights

When it leads you right back to the problems you were drowning in before



We got caught in this trap again

The fireworks and confetti infest the city skyline as our corpses become weary

We assumed that a new calendar would mean we could throw the past away

But the debris of the past still suffocates our souls in the beginning of January





…And if you never say “goodbye” then we’ll always remember our last “hello”

So if you truly love me…then it’s time to let me go…



We wipe our shame on our sleeve because we sadly perceive that our dreams we will never achieve

I can’t believe that all the world does is grieve and deceive on New Year’s Eve



So if you truly love me…then it’s time to let me go

Never say “goodbye”…never say “hello”

If you love me…then let me go

If you love me…then let me go

“Goodbye”…”hello”

Let me go

Let me go
