Lost Treasures Goodbye “Lost Treasure's Collection”
By: Matthew Wayne
I had long since stared into the abyss
all I saw was everything I now miss
I have forgotten what love has felt like
turning wrongs into what feels so right
As I stand on my own two feet.
I have been strong, and I have been weak
so tonight I shall make an apology,
before they scribe my eulogy
where a confession is never easy to say
like broken promises it's never the same
“I am sorry, that I was not what you expected
where I am human, flawed and far from perfected
sorry for ever hurting you, to smile after all we have been through
and to laugh, even after all the pain too.”
I could never let go, never let go of you
always where I can find, will always be on my mind
the answers fail me this time, for
'I once fell to hard, to fast for something I knew would not last.'
With the past behind, I now look towards tomorrow
no longer feeling this bitter sorrow
she never even knew her own beauty
even in death you will see, eye's like fire, and lips to take me higher.
“Holding onto a dream, a vision, I wish to redeem
remembering the past, fading memories gone by to fast
bleeding from the pain, time wasted on this endless game
suffering from a past mistake, her words become a song with
the lyrics I create”
Scared to death, to walk out the door
to face a life where the possibilities are so much more
humbled by the prospects of nature
malevolent in its untapped cure
afraid to look past the line of sight
where shadows dance behind the sun's light
Where will I run when there is no ground to walk upon
Where will I hide when all the rocks and trees are gone
When chaos echoes in my ear, will I once again give into the fear?
When my world has fallen apart, I look towards the sky
When everything around me is broke, yet I am still alive
A second chance to change my life before I die
Scared to take a breath, fearing my secrets will slip
forced to take the next step, before I trip
The seemingly brutality of our own humanity
bombing our subconscious, an attack on our mentality
Picking me apart little by little
leaving me oblivious to life's simple riddle
lessons I've learned, and a life in which I turned
I have never been any good with saying goodbye
always hearing whispers of drama, and lies
so many times I've tried, yet the words never come
trapped within my mind, the thoughts are always the same
with the ink on my paper, my last goodbye to her
“Goodbye my love, if you take notice to what I will become
because of you I am now stronger in my conviction
because of you I can now face my strongest addiction
holding onto the intentions, of a dream with no regrets
of a life I'll never forget, so tonight I shall say goodbye
for the last and final time.”
