Final Goodbye

A glass full of souls and their heartrending screams

Puppets all tearing apart at the seams

Roses of white have bloodstained respite

And thorns wind round hearts darker than night

XXX

But a heart choked black,

By no means loves back

It's always twisting and turning

And bleeding and yearning….

XXX

Eternally bound by spider's thread

Heart sinking on to the final bed

Hands that feel madness reach for the moon

But checkmate's arriving a little too soon

XXX

His knight keeps to his side

But rust will abide

On his crown, tipping and reaching

Extending, impeaching

XXX

Skeletons dancing around in his sleep

Shadows and monsters and a devil he'll keep

Silently dying, a heart that's still trying

To win back the soul his devil is buying

XXX

Will be consumed by his crown caked with rust

His heart with shattered fragments of trust

Forever inside, a heart dark as night

Ever-too-broken for any respite

XXX

But a heart choked black

Can never love back

Madness brings fright, drives off all light

Warps his mind, kisses goodnight

XXX

Lovely white roses and a crown full of rust

A bleeding heart woven with fragments of trust

Eyes that won't dry, oh, the devil can cry

A broken voice breathes out his final goodbye
