Goodnight

Sometimes I almost forget these weary bones
Watching children play in the park
Under these old familiar trees
They help me feel the glow of my youth
So many years have fallen between that boy
And this ghost I am to you
It's a bittersweet closing of the blinds
Where the sunlight cast upon the world
Dims on the inside
And all the pieces that once made up who you are
Fade with the darkness of each love who dies before
Look at me
I'm a lifetime of memories
Looking back so far, so longingly
At you my darling
You're so beautiful in this photograph
In every moment we ever saved
And you were beautiful when you said goodbye
3 years ago today
When you're young, you never believe the story ends
That you'll one day out-live your fairytales
And lay to rest your dearest friends
Tomorrow was my crutch and it collapsed under the weight
Of all the things I never said before it was too late
Summer is over and now I feel it in my bones
Alone in the dark
Alone in the cold
The sunlight is a candle
Dieing down in the quiet sky
Goodnight dear world
Goodnight old trees
Goodnight, and goodbye
