Should We Say Goodnight

The day has faded to silence

And I still can't get the words right

I stare at the lengthening shadows

Should I just tell you goodnight


Should I walk away

Or should I sleep my final sleep

Was I ever really here

Is my memory worth the keep


Everything inside and out is spinning

Spiraling down and out of my control

death is circling me and beckoning

Do I give in, do I let it take hold


On the edge of every tomorrow

A hurricane blows at my back

It pushes me closer over

my tears flow down and black


Black and shadowed

A dark and twisted anguish

why do I still breathe this sweetened breeze

Why is it that I still languish


This pain burns from the inside 

There is no need for my guidance anymore

There is no need for me to remain

Let go of my hand I must implore


Should I say it

Should we say goodnight

The word lingers on my tongue

As I search the room for one last light


I am not afraid to take death's hand

I will willingly go so you might be saved

So you can be free of my darkness

It is for you that I have slaved


I wanted to give you a better life

To free you of the burden of my past

So maybe this is goodbye

No more tears, these are the last
