Echoes End

Snapped in a frame with the Leica in your hand Casual Tuesday rain slamming down with hail Collision kaleidoscope reflecting the misty downtown air You and I, without knowing why, pass through there Your nail polish is noir black, my eyes are gazing onto you You have a scent I want to never forget Can I buy your perfume And when it was 8 o'clock We saw the cars pass Memory defiant with a brimstone rose And when I look back I see us right there Before the accident That showed we didn't care That is why I cannot be with you Now it's time For me to forget you In hindsight I should've said this A long time ago So goodbye My path leads somewhere new No more cry I'm breaking free It's overdue By and by I'll discover new joy without you Cancelled all the plans, even the dinner date with you Talked to my therapist who said "you can't be subdued" You gave a deathblow, how could you not reminisce of all the times when we were in our honeymoon You kept my notebook that is filled with poems about you Would you want to read them if they make you feel the whirlpools And when it was 8 o'clock We saw the cars pass Memory defiant with a brimstone rose And when I look back I see us right there Before the accident That showed we didn't care That is why I cannot be with you Now it's time For me to forget you In hindsight I should've said this A long time ago So goodbye My path leads somewhere new No more cry I'm breaking free It's overdue By and by I'll discover new joy without you When I wrote about you in the manuscript I published I realized that we would never ever be there for each other And when the students on the campus speak anything about me, it tends to be negative and nonchalantly demean Introspection aside, I've come to realize That if I were to jump off a cliff They'd laugh because of how I fell down and died Despite that, I question what you hear and what you think of me When though for years now our story is us being strangers that never meet That is why I cannot be with you Now it's time For me to forget you In hindsight I should've said this A long time ago So goodbye My path leads somewhere new No more cry I'm breaking free It's overdue By and by I'll discover new joy without you That is why I cannot be with you Now it's time For me to forget you In hindsight I should've said this A long time ago So goodbye My path leads somewhere new No more cry I'm breaking free It's overdue By and by I'll discover new joy without you
