Newest Poem: Goodnight

I have this posted a couple other places, but I thought it might look good on my blog too...

"Goodnight"

I wish I had more time to think
about the words I'd said to you,
and while you laid there on the brink
I told you how it wasn't true.

I said that it would "be alright"
You clung to me, I held you tight,
I couldn't let you go that night
and leave my life without your light.

I wished that it was all a dream
and when you said "I feel so cold"
I fought the urge inside to scream,
while you smiled at the lies I'd told.

I said that it would "be alright"
You clung to me, I held you tight.
I couldn't let you go that night,
and leave my life without your light.

I couldn't let you go that night,
you clung to me, I held you tight.
You said that it would be alright,
the last thing you said was Goodnight.
