Until The End - 1. Chapter 1
Sometimes it’s the first few notes
of a piano played with nimble fingers
ivory keys that shatter the calm
of a lonely drive on a winter’s day
the sky dark while I rage and pound the steering wheel
remembering the moment they told me
that you were gone.
Sometimes it’s the first few cords
Wrung with heartrending beauty
from a black and silver guitar
like the one that you used to play
while I lay beside you
lost in a place only we could know
wishing the whole world would fade away
and sometimes it’s a whisper
on a night that’s dark and long
while I watch the shadows play along the wall
and listen to the wind carry your voice
from a lifetime away.
Who could have known there’d be no goodbyes
when we promised each other forever?
Tear stained anniversaries
and a million regrets,
a hundred questions,
a billion what ifs,
and a single image
of a mocking grave.
They could bury your body
but I’ve seen your soul in a hundred highway signs,
forests littered with fallen leaves,
neon city nights,
and ocean waves;
like you're still out their surfing,
and laughing,
and showing off.
How can you be gone
when I still see you in the shadows
of every room you used to walk?
How can I forget that I was yours
long before I was anything else that mattered?
If a whisper in the night could bring you back
then I’d listen for every whisper
until the end.
