Letting Go of Goodbye

We spent the weekend visiting the boys in Reno, so I thought today would be a good day for a guest post.

Once again my son, Tyler, has agreed to let me post another one of his works.


Ladies and Gentlemen I give you:




Letting Go of Goodbye


Three years of my life gone bye, don't remember if I said too much,

All I know is I was filled with pain, caught in between the devils clutch.

My body starts to drown with pride, I'm not sure if I can fill it up,

Got some secrets that I hold inside, got some memories I won't disrupt.




I hear the drippings of your nervous sweat; I see the color of your energy,

Your rainy words have got me feeling so wet, with the cloud that you have crowding me.

I'm slowly sinking into anarchy, holding on with every breath I take,

Getting burned in the third degree, by the flames of every smile I fake.




Can you catch me I'm falling, falling into the sea, the sea of blasphemy.

The structure of destruction I've come to be,

Have you forgiven me, have you forgiven me?

The Evil Spirit and Holy Ghost, they are two friends of mine; I see them all the time.

We take shots of sorrow and embrace, the wisdom of the day, the day you went away.




I see an image of your tear stained face, a foggy portrait you have come to be,

You're the only mark I can't erase, still can't remove the love you scarred on me.

I'm dreaming of the day that you will find, a perfect gentleman in someone's touch,

The tape of life you can always rewind, but the memories won't feel as much.




My faith erased with every chance I take, my thoughts explode during the sleepless night,

Will you bury me beneath the gate, the one that stands between you and I?

The judgment of my life is coming soon; I can feel it creeping in my bones,

The whisper of the wind is blowing through; I'm floating into the great unknown.




I run away the worries and the pain, with so much elegance, your love is so past tense.

Keeping tabs on all the years I spent, wasting away on you, my skies were never blue.

I tripped and fell over your stumbled words, they never had much thought,

Great gifts are rarely bought, great gifts are rarely bought.

I sit back, relax, and know in time I'll find, how to let go of goodbye.
