i don’t expect you to understand
the reasons i have
for doing what i do
to stay clear of my fears
but collecting them at midnight
and luring me in with regret
does not make this any better
and no matter how hard i try
i can’t ever really say goodbye
i just want a peaceful fade out
a hidden kiss from my room
where blue blood sparkles
and white hope blooms
into the shadowy figures of us
what we were long ago
i don’t expect you to understand
this will be easier when you go
