To Be Dead

I’ll close my eyes this final time and whisper my goodbye.
As I lie, laying prostrate, the sacrifice you chose.
I’ll whisper and the words will never reach you.

Maybe that’s how it’s meant to be.

I’ve tried and tried and cried and died over and over.
Humiliatingly enough, it never changed anything.

I’m dead already so what is the use?
What’s it worth to keep fighting a dead man, long gone in your mind?

Maybe that’s how it’s meant to be.

I’m gone and forgotten, but still living somewhere, just not here, not inside of you, anymore.

This is how you meant it to be.

I’m such a fan of your image and verse combos, and this is no exception! Emotive and honest writing, paired with this beautiful vista… I’ve always wondered, which comes first for you? The picture or the poem?

    No worries! 🙂 That’s cool so you mix it up, interesting. So you would, in this case, write the poem, then go out hunting for an image to match? Very cool.

    Yes sir!! Sometimes finding an image is tricky. All the images minus the ones I mention aren’t mine are photos I took. I always try to make them match up. Sometimes ill know what poem I want a picture for and others I have to dig around 🙂
