The Last Sunset
The Last Sunset
By Kevin Robey
September 4, 2013
Wrapped up in consequences unforeseen
Her mind blinded by what could have been
A field in bloom where everything was green
Flooded by tears poured by demons within
She said let me go, this dark abyss is mine
Exactly what I deserve for what I’ve done
Your smile burns my eyes, why does it shine
Your heart’s been pierced, actions never undone
He tells me he is free of his pent up insanity
Played in his mind like ends of bonfire flames
His skin is still black from the match that I see
Between my fingers rendered useless and lame
I don’t deserve this smile, or anything at all
I’ll sail away from the distant sunset horizon
But even as I set the fire that began my fall
I saw his little note he stashed way back then
“I love you”, it said, “I always will”.
He sat on the sandy shore with tears in his eyes
He could never forget the light that she brought
Back in the times where he was lost in disguise
She brought him back here, to the truth that he sought
He walked into the sea of broken dreams
The promise he made that he’ll never let go
He cast his sails and set off to the vengeful sea
Never seen again by the shores from long ago
The sunset faded into the dark horizon once more
The last light touched the beach of flawless sand
They would never again touch those distant shores
It’s in the sea where they would always walk…hand in hand
