Charlotte,

Can I say good-bye?
Cutting this thread that keeps you alive
Dangling in the dusty corners of my mind
Should they fall, to be covered in twine
Lasting disposition would most certainly be forgotten
Just as quick as you came
Into my heart torn by tears of guilt
And invading thoughts full of abhorrence

Can I say good-bye?
To these feelings I hold for you
Encased in glass with martyrdom embued
A conditional fate I wish I knew
Feeling the dirt and parasitical life
Allowing your timely, cowardly departure
Away from my mending heart of rue
And leaving thoughts full of gaiety

Can I say good-bye?
Let me forget all knowledge of your face
A rose that has left all it's grace
Sprinkled on the scattered leaves I chase
Through the catacombs I travel lightly
For fear of your recurring voice
Echoing throughout my hollowed veins
And cancelling thoughts full of penance

No,
I think I'll say hello.
From the world you left behind
To live in serenity (sublime)
After you floated across the line
That bordered your innocence from fear
Tracing the steps of others once more
To bleed a burning heart of ember
And thinking thoughts no more.

-Corey
