Goodnight

As we stood at the ledge of the cliff
You looked into my eyes and I swear I saw a glimpse of heaven and pure innocence
The moons light looked iridescent on your skin
And your lips were an envious shade of gray because your body was giving in
"What happened to us?" you weakly said in my ear
The only thing that came to mind was the jealousy that I had always feared
Seeing you gazing at someone else made my heart crumble with fear
I couldn't help what my furious hands did later that day
I didn't mean to drive you out so far away
To make you stand on your weak feet
To force you to speak when we both know your throat is weak
But I love you so much
I can't leave you without saying goodbye
So I'll kiss you sweetly one last time
Now close your eyes
And say goodnight
