Farewell

And thanks for being.

Thanks for all you did

And thanks for nothing.

I appreciate you leaving

In my time of need.

I know you can't help it

But fuck it, it's for you my heart bleeds.

I know you loved me

And I loved you.

I don't want to think about it

Because I still feel you.

Do you hear that sound?

It's my soul trying to breathe

I feel the weight of you

Maybe you were buried in me.

You didn't leave a legacy

But you did leave a lasting impression.

Not just the fist-shaped one in the wall

But the one from which I'll teach the lesson.

I didn't know you that long

You were still my model, my aid, my guide

I know that a part of me turned black

The day that you died.

It came out of right field

Everyone expected it to happen, no one fought.

They bought your fucking headstone

And got you a nice place for you to rot.

You saw all this and took it quiet

I'm sorry you had to see yourself die

In all of our faces, our actions

And in all our eyes.

I know how you feel

I don't know about everyone else

It's been a good run, you'd say

And I don't fear the exit of the pulse.

Your bravery is amazing

It is from where I draw my strength

I hope that you enjoyed the food they cooked

It surely was enough to make you feel better about when you'll stink.

Please don't take this as an insult

It's all I know to do

I know that I was loved

By someone who's equals are extremely few.

So thanks for everything

I think somehow I'll live

But I'll have to look elsewhere

For someone with a life to give.
