Left Behind

     
     
when skies shed no light and velvet clouds pour down Rain.      
when sighs shed no relief and faceless crowds shore up Pain.      
names lost in past are to never Arrive.      
blames left to last are to never Distill.      
and i burry myself in past, memories left to Revive.      
and i cling to my last hope left Alive,      
that gives me Will....      
the will to Live....      
without my best friend - what would i Do?      
without my best friend - without you.      
     
yet when it's you who's falling Down -      
all i can think Of....      
     
is just about a million Ways,      
a million ways to harm You.      
like to just stand up and leave - pretend that i don't Care.      
like to just hand out my sleeve and all your hidden Secrets? - just Share.      
make you die through grey and Blue.      
make you cry through nights for Days.      
maybe there's just ire in my Veins - there      
screaming angrily for everything i Despair.      
     
and perhaps that's why All -      
all i can thing Of....      
     
are all the times i shouldn't Frown      
are all the things i shouldn't Say      
all your names - once Living... once Died.      
all your dreams - all Failed... once Tried.      
and every single bitter thing that could ruin your Day.      
it's ok, some people are meant to go Down.      
it's ok, some friends are meant to be left Behind.      
so please, leave me. i will Understand. i won't Mind.      
     
i'm No good -      
no good to You.      
     
silence scares me, for it whispers the bitter Truth,      
about the sweet faces forgotten in a photo Booth.      
we all find loss once in a While,      
and we all fear what we've Found.      
the time beats drum for my last Sigh.      
for the rain to come and ground to Dry.      
even the sun sometimes forgets to Smile.      
even the moon knows depression isn't something you can Reconcile.      
so i'll just lay in my bed and wait for the Dawn,      
watch stars slowly disappear until there are None.      
     
and all i'll think Of,      
is how i miss my best Friend.      
but i understand That....      
.... and i understand You....      
     
     
     
Note: I know it isn't exactly evil nor morbid, but there is no "depressed" category unfortunately.      
     
Note 2: I'm playing with the idea of "twin poems" (two very alike works that end differently and carry a different message), twin of this one is called "Never Left Behind"... just in case you cared.
