The Last Goodbye

Out in the darkness of the night
Beyond the light that seems too bright
That stops the wrong and supports the right
Is the life inside them burning and throbbing

Her face reflects the love concealed
His face so real she yearns to feel
She yearns to peel this cocoon and let go of the wheel
That she has been striving to turn all her life

Painted upon lips
Is the kiss that sends them into bliss
But the words they want to say will not slip
They know the consequence

So the moon provides the curtain
That closes over the world so certain
That this love unacceptable by the sermon
Is only the rotten remains of lust

But now all the resistance is gone
They have waited too long to be withdrawn
From this place this presence of this dawn
That has awakened the realization that no one else matters

Kneeling on the edge of the world he is pleading
For the eternal darkness outside the fleeting
Moment of passion that has already begun bleeding
The traits of the last goodbye

The embrace they held in the quiet air
Remembered the world and began to tare
They weep for the fact they are not prepared

And one last time he glides his hand across her cheek
She kisses his eyes that will cease to seek
Her in the light among the bright
He yells in fury for she is fading
She screams through the tears because the black is now graying
He clings to her face and beholds her beautiful eyes
That are squinting with the pain of the returning lies
That they are not in love among the heavy folds of night
That they detest the wrong and love the right
The sun is returning and the safety disappearing
They are mourning what they were fearing
Ripped away, cut across, pulled apart
The bodies wither with the exploding hearts
