Goodbye

by Merja, pisces - Not entered

Decadent shadows between her steps
I am the winter she hates
I am the bug she loathes
Her nightmare that floats.

Just a second ago we kissed goodbye
Or cried goodbye, said goodbye
- however you want to believe it - 
or whispered goodbye.

Her eyes were cold, cold as sea
Deep as the moon and the ice
That’s what her eyes were, ice
Out of me and her I’m less wise.

Sometimes I told her about love
between Romeo and Juliet
between the thirsty earth and the raindrops
between me and her.

Yes, I told her I loved her and back then it was real
She saw it through my eyes and tasted it from my lips
But know I know that nothing is eternal
Not words, not life - not to mention feelings.

Either of us didn’t want to believe it, not to know it and notice
But now I remember it shined through everything
And there was nothing to do
but deny.

We knew that our love and caring had started to fade
Like the orchids I once gave to her to prove my feelings
It was a rainy day and I took them from a backyard
A strange, dark backyard of a strange, dark house.

We drifted through a blizzard, through a storm
And there we were, on a trap
We fell into the dragon’s mouth
And still there was nothing to do.

So now she’s going somewhere with a train
I don’t know where
I guess she’s going to a town
Strange and dark.

I wish she can go on in the blizzard all alone.
