Our good-bye will remember you in the perfect moonlight-your simple grin and satisfaction in a moment-~weepingprophet [bodytext] => our good bye will remember you
in the moonlight
darkened around you
is the empty abyss of our love

your seventeen push ups
here i am on the concrete
puking up my guts
not because you have been touching me
not because i swallowed all of you
and your offering of love

no, because i look up
wipe my mouth vigorously
and try to snatch that snapshot
clear it from my mind
take back the memory

of you practising for a million
roads paved away from me
is this it?

you catch me staring and laugh
funny.
the thought of you- face pressed into the ground-
bleeding to death on foreign soil
and i'm not laughing
i can't appreciate your grin

oh, how passion kills us to live
and for a moment i had forgotten
that this would all be painted so lonely

our good-bye will remember you
in that perfect moonlight
the simple grin and satisfaction
of a moment

A million roads paved away from me

Great! Just great! It's impossible to pin any words descriptive enough to what you offer the eyes and mind of a reader. If i thought to ask, i think it would be like asking a magician how they made the rabbit appear wouldn't it? Great work...what else is to be said

the entire piece i admire a lot, but these words are too well put to be ignored:

oh, how passion kills us to live
and for a moment i had forgotten
that this would all be painted so lonely

keep up the most excellent work.
