I wrote this prob 10 yeas ago when I was in a very dark place. I look back at this poem and many other ones that I wrote to remind myself to never slip this this far into depression. Hope everyone has a lovely day/night <3
After the End
As these childish games play on
The time goes by so fast, how much longer can it last?
It's like a dream, with fake smiles and fake laughs
nothing to remember, only the past
what to remember? Who to bring back?
This is all I ask
With every step on the dirt
And ever new birth of a day
Will you stop and breathe for a moment
And will you remember me?
Don't let it be your fault, don't think it was mine
Don't hang your head with shame
because I didn't die hanging mine
open your eyes wide, and look at the stars
One or maybe two are me
Just another soul lost in the black sea
With every step on the dirt
And every new birth of a day
Will you stop and breathe for a moment
And will you remember me?
Times have changed and years have passed,
with people coming and going, emptiness is left
You have passed the test of life, with love and heartbreak
Alone here you stand waiting for the final breath
As you wipe away the spilled blood from the past
After this war of life is long gone
This is all I ask
Will you remember me?
