It's Just The Way It Ends Poem by Daniel Wittfoth

Like the last drag from a cigarette
left ti linger in the air
Last swallow from a warm bottle
the taste somewhat bitter sweet
Let one more tear fall
wipe it away
what would it matter
Count the moments until they fade away
let that old song play on and on
God knows, it won't change a thing
as you write down one more line
broken hearts refuse to bleed

What is for the best
isn't always what you believe
It's just the way it ends
it's just the way it ends

Words spoken don't always hold the truth
loneliness replaces trust and compromise
Swear to God above
it's hard to play the game
when the one you're with breaks all the rules
Should you stay or go
struggle sometimes
feeling lost and obscure
Always sure of the day
until tomorrow came
Eyes now see beyond the haze
that once kept you safe
Holding a heart too high
it was bound to fall

What is for the best
isn't always what you believe
It's just the way it ends
it's just the way it ends

Reflections in a mirror
of another time
Funny how forever
became that last mistake
Sometimes wondering
if there had been so much more
All the signs were there
should have seen them
now it's too late

Like the last words whispered
goodbye rings out
First you get angry
then you get swallowed up in the pain
Left lonely and empty
a waste of time
Looking back on your life
knowing no matter how much you hate it
it's all true
IIn all
it feels just like pieces passing through
Right at that moment
you finally understand

What is for the best
isn't always what you believe
It's just the way it ends
it's just the way it ends.....
