A Tale Of Bad Goodbyes
Staring at empty walls 
 Wondering what went wrong 
 Empty thoughts and empty hearts 
 A being of her imagination 
 His car smashed into another 
 Sending both into a fatal spin 
 He has another day 
 The other is laid to rest 
 A couple dancing in the park 
 He kisses her, and the world seems to stop 
 As he lies in the hospital bed 
 The scene plays all over again 
 All alone she waits 
 Praying that he will wake 
 Crying to herself 
 As his face grows pale 
 His heartbeat comes from an outlet 
 Like he’s plugged into life 
 She has to decide to live or die 
 Though he’s already dying 
 The constant beeping and sound of nurse’s feet 
 She is drowned in uncertainty 
 Keeping him alive is just torturing him 
 Killing him would torture her 
 Tears roll down her face 
 Tightness in her lungs 
 Thoughts and sights she can not handle 
 She chokes on the every breath she takes 
 All alone again 
 She sits and ponders on what she lost 
 All alone again 
 He sits and ponders on what he left 
 Slowly his passing tears her apart 
 With no one to love 
 Her love drips away 
 Dying of heartbreak 
 Shadows dancing in the moonlight 
 The imaginary friends of every grown-up kid 
 They dance to a waltz of bitter good-byes 
 As music plays in the background of this memory
