Goodbye....

*/*Author's note: This will be my last chapter on this poetry book ending it saddens me, but I just might make a volume two sometime in the near future.  I want to thank everyone who has read and even shared my poetry and I hope you all have enjoyed my seemly endless writings on various, sometimes even controversial and compelling topics. I am ending with this chapter, sadly, but on a good note, I have been in contact with a publisher who is very interested in my work and also a fellow photographer interested in my pictures. So may be one day if I can find enough time to finalize my manuscript and send it to them or have the photographer look over my photos that I just might get published or even have my own show!! I have my fingers crossed, and once again thank you for ya'lls support. I hope to be hearing from some of you soon. :) */*

You approached me

And asked me a question

And pulled down your long sleeve

I'd soon never forget

You asked to see mine

Since you bared me yours

A memory that withstands time

Bravely I spoke never, of course

You got angry and bared your teeth

Snarled your lips and cursed to the wind

You couldn't do it, you questioned belief

But you didn't give up, you never knew how to give in

You withheld your memories and all of your past

You pushed and pushed while I always shoved

You screamed at me "how long can you last"

It pained me so, as I looked up to the celestials above

You told me with a blank look on your face

Pulling up your soaked and ripped up sleeve

Your eyes red, rimmed with black, broken grace

Blood poured out down your arm you begged please

You begged "please tell me I'm not alone!"

I watch as the blood poured like tears

It stained you skin all your scars to be shown

You laid them all out, your darkest fears

Before I knew it I started to cry too

My tears match your blood as you leaned over me

I was lost and didn't know what to do

So I complied and pulled up my own sleeve

You stared to laugh as you tried to cope

I knew you meant no harm in your twisted little heart

You truly smiled as you finally saw hope

You traced mine with hands completing my work of art

I cleaned you wounds inside and out

Washed away the pain that we felt

I watched you as you screamed and shout

As we take in these hands we've been dealt

As time flew by we counted all of our scars

One for every let silence scream that no one heard

We always questioned each other how'd we get this far

But silence was the answer, not uttering a word

As we compared our scars

They get deeper and deeper, exposing out bones

We are completely torn apart

We bare them now, knowing we're not alone

As we compared every single battle scar

That was written on our arms year after year

We embraced each other under the brightly lit stars

Letting the world know with one last cry "WE ARE HERE!"

But little did we ever know

Deceiving each, other making us ill

We both planned it wickedly so

We both downed the last of our pills

We say there together in our ever giving glory

Holding hands, each other and I

As what was written on our bodies, our story

Together whispering the last words of a final goodbye
