Dinner with Death | ||||||||||
by Matt Johnson | ||||||||||
Broken bones and an empty soul Can’t hide the fact that I’ve lost control A forgotten promise; a friend turned away Takes my pain through another day Crossing over, I can’t carry on Holding this heart that doesn’t belong Open wounds Tear-stained eyes Rectifying Family Ties Heart-broken Nothing left I sit at the table, having Breakfast with Death A shallow soul for the eternal abyss Times gone past that I’ll always miss The one time I forgot to say goodbye Was the only time I was afraid to die I go out walking, not knowing when My hopes and dreams to Heaven I send Blackened wounds Opened eyes Ruined friendships I have to try Saving grace Nothing left I sit with nothing, having Lunch with Death Staring at nothing with a picture in hand Of the only time on my own I could stand The picture in flames, the burns on my skin Readying my life for it to begin again Blackness devours; the light makes me strong This life of mine has gone on for too long Healed wounds Empty eyes Quietly searching The final surprise Amazing endings with Nothing left I look at my demons, having Dinner with Death I laugh at my fears, having Dinner with Death I walk in the shadows, to have Dinner with Death |
