... Poem by Dustin MacDougall

'I Cant' see what im doing right
I wish I could feel it at the end of the night
but your eyes just shifted away from me
my heart stops and I don’t know how to be
without you in my arms, I feel incomplete
You were the one to make me feel alive
you were the one i could of died for
I hoped it wouldn't turn out this way
but at the end of the day, it did
but who am I, to care, I'm just a kid
Im supposed to move on and forget your face
forget your place in my heart, but you were a part of me
and now im lost, but that’s no way for me to be
I shouldn't see it in this light, everything that I had fought for
your soul, your smile, your purpose
it all looks like its displaced on the floor
on this day my moods astray
my hearts gone cold and will soon turn to mold
to learn the harsh reality of it all
is just another reason for me to fall
My mind and soul never loses control
or so I thought
My thoughts were always my downfall anyway
I thought of the worst before the best
I never tried to change it so I say
I wont forget you, you gave me a chance
to love and be loved and I throw it all away
for the price of a prayer and the promise of something fake
and I jumped at the opportunity, I was sold warm
so tight I couldn't leave the thought of something better
but what I realized now is there’s always a second chance
and sometimes goodbyes the only way, so on this day
Ill say my last goodbye and hug you gently goodbye.'
