v^v

If I killed myself tonight
Would you cry with eyes that hate the loss
Or with eyes that see they must
Mourn the passing of who I was
Would you remember me in joy or hate?
If I stained your carpet red and black
And promised to never come back
Would the tears be for me or you?
Would you be sad?
Would you be glad?
Is what we had over and gone
Am I blindly holding on
To something that doesn't exist anymore?
What do I have left but you
Is even that untrue?
Am I just a delusional little girl?
I doesn't matter if we don't last
It doesn't matter if you want to forget the past
I had something beautiful
And I can't mourn that
Unless you rip my heart away again
Again
Again
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang
But a shriek to the wind
Hoping I never come back again
I'll dream of you tonight
When I lie on your floor and pour out my soul
Just so you know
I always loved you

"This is what Death sounds like"

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS
Not with a bang but a whimper




~Stolen from Gizmachi and T.S. Eliot. In that order

And when I dream...

Will you follow me into the dark?
Pass by the evening
The stars have never been so brilliant
Nor your eyes so stark

A million miles to travel
With a lonely pack at my side
Taking my empty heart, I start
As the road unravels long and wide

The dawn whisks away the fleeting
Too long have I gone alone
If I promise to be quiet
Will you lead me home?

Somtimes my heart is heavy
And I see the scars and marks
I only have one question left:
Will you follow me into the dark?

Commemoration?



AND IN OUR ARROGANCE WE BURNED



PRETENDING WE WERE NOT BEING PUNISHED



LET US BURN



LET US FALL



UNTIL THE WHOLE WORLD IS LIT UP



WITH OUR VOICES


All gave some
Some gave all

Rain of Dirt

Dearly beloved,
We are gathered here today in memory of the dawn
And mourn the passing of the sun,
Notwithstanding the unforgiven tides of humanity
Lay him down among his sanity.
Necessarily with words and music raised
This road unpaved.

Now we lay us down to death
And pray all fear has from us fled.

Close the Bible, drop the rose,
Untitled harmonies in shades of gold,

Now we lay us-
Now we lay us-

Dearly beloved,
Rise with me to sing the songs
In melody slow and octaves strong.
Raise your hands and drop your eyes
To the grave, to the one inside.

Look up from hell and hold my hand
Take your blame and understand.

Close the Bible, grip the rose,
Hold it up, the bloom re-grows.

Dearly departed,
Now we’ve laid us down to death,
Hold my hand and hold your breath…
