One Last Goodbye, poem by Signe Robertson, 2009 I just want to give you One last goodbye Soon, I will surely die But not without this goodbye If I end it all Or die by mistake Who will bid farewell To all those I love? I will Right now I cannot leave you without This last goodbye I put my finger in the snow And wrote your name in cursive The snow was cold, but looked much better With your name written in it When you were a stranger You reached out for my hand And ended up stealing my heart Now it is yours, forever You said "I want you to know me" But now, somebody knows you more My love, if I die, I will not leave without This last goodbye I got to be closer Than anyone else To the most beautiful girl In the entire world It was such a quick moment And now already gone Somebody won your heart And I lost The one you think about As you fall asleep at night Is someone else Not me Now all I can give you is One last goodbye Before I go Before I die I need you every second Do you even need me every day? What I promised meant nothing Next to promises from someone else I might be silly, you might be a stranger But you reached out to me Through the crowd As if we were the only ones My heart was already broken By a man who was like a flame Heating up a cold night The only light in sight Now you broke my heart My lovely, beautiful girl Like the colors in the sky at sunset You are sweeter than a flame in the night But I suppose this beauty Is only here to taunt me Show me what I cannot have And break me down to pieces It works, but remember I love you either way Every night and every day I love you! You were perfect for me But someone else was perfect for you When you had finally healed my heart It died while in your hands Like a baby bird You tried to save But failed Or did you let it die? Now all I can give you is One last goodbye Before I go Before I die Admiration, adoration Affection, attraction Desire, devotion Passion Take these words, my love Turn them a billion times stronger For all eternity This is what I leave for you! Yes, I leave you now, my dear With the strongest of love and affection As I go in the opposite direction To the darkest pit of solitude and despair Whenever I die and how I will always love you And will not leave you without This last goodbye Burn my body to ashes Spread them out to sea A Christian funeral Is not for me You showed up from nowhere and saved me Then broke me and left me for dead Soon, I will surely die This is my last goodbye |
