This One Is For You Poem by Diego Adrian Manriquez

I'm trying to keep myself together
Everyday I feel like I am slipping away
Beyond the noise, beyond the truth, beyond the light
And there is no turning back from here
Do you think I can live with this being held against me?
As it crushes me chest and steals my every sip of breathe

And now we both know what we've become
And you can't stand it
It feels so wrong but, I know it's right
And for my last words I need you in my life
I am standing up for once in my life

And I am telling you that this is my goodbye
And I would much rather have you save your breathe
Because, you've said your goodbye a long time ago
This fire that I've been trying to keep alive
Is slowly dying and I know you don't care

But, I hope that you'll miss me
I hope that you'll need me
And I hope that you have forgotten my name
Because, I know I'll never forget yours
