in progress
i've got it all down to a science, and i've run through the lab results and deductions again and again.
it's how to say goodbye to a ghost. how to say goodbye to an apparition. something that was never there, you were never there.
pick out the thorns from your hands. no more placing pressure on the points and joints where past fingerprints used to lay. now i just lower my eyes when the thoughts cross my mind. to think we were ever one. to think that we both fooled ourselves into believing we could be together. to think we could mold, we could shift, we could form and free each other. and to realize how much flesh and blood and bone and sweat we extracted. we gave up ribs. you swallowed bottles of my faith only to abuse it. so i just lower my eyes when the thoughts cross my mind.
and now that any hope of reconciliation was destroyed, i can exhale clarity into my life. throw the doors and shutters open and let the fog exit. inhale the cold clean and bare, and with each breath i release the strife. golden rays swim through the thick, tranquil air. the windows stream in sunshine and a bittersweet euphoria fills my lungs like honey. now, i can exhale clarity into my life.
so how do you say goodbye to a ghost? how do you say goodbye to your creation? how do you say goodbye to a hen? i blew a long stream of breath across the room and saw it tear right through you. how to say goodbye to a ghost.
sometimes, for a split second, i think about the next person, house, or memories you're haunting. the next apple you're tunneling through. but i just lower my eyes when the thoughts cross my mind.
now, i've said goodbye to my ghost. and i will no longer the smoke scratch at my skin. and i will no longer let the scent of failure bind with fiber. and i will no longer let the thoughts linger. now, i've found real reason to need to bleed to give to want to have to laugh to love to live.
you came to me from nowhere
with nothing
and no-one
hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
goes to show
you never really know
it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
see me then
investing so much
in you, in you, in you
came so close
to the edge
i do, i do, i do
in the end
we let it go away
we let it float away
on the breeze
