early mornings make me wonder

if sunlight can still

graze your ebony skin

though your golden soul

has long departed

I know I should not be

doubting these things

but I can't not think

of your eternal journey

away from me, you see?

on the narrow

path to heaven

can you peer down and see

the sinner still roaming earth

though God took you from him?

He led your love to death

and left you to drown with it

He wants to end it, everyday

in every way, he wants you with him

Alive and drowning in guilt

he's killing himself

till his heart grows numb

and he can no longer feel

the pain that he

put you through

Once, I wished to take his place

now I know to do even better

I know that I shouldn't leave

you like you left him

behind to die, so I choose

to trace your path to heaven

while risking eternal hell

From the man you never loved

or left behind,

Goodbye.
