endings

G-Kaphen

It wasn’t supposed to end this way.

We were supposed to run of Norway,

And live on a farm with dogs for a family.

Because you like black metal,

And I like pretty sceneries.

 

But now we’ve stopped running,

I’ve lost you in a crowd

And even though I can still feel my grip on your hand,

It has gotten a lot looser.

And I can’t seem to pick you out from all of the people between us.

 

And I know everything good has to come to an end,

But why did it have to happen so suddenly?

We didn’t even say goodbye properly.

It was just a compliment,

Then silence.

It is always just silences,

Never any words.

 

So tell me,

Why did it have to end this way?

You said you’d stay,

But you didn’t even say goodbye,

We just drifted off onto different planes of existence.

This wasn’t supposed to end this way.

 

At what point did your promises stop meaning shit?

At what point did you decide that you couldn’t even look me in the eye anymore?

I am trying to understand what is going on,

But even I can’t make sense of it.

And this could just be my teenage naivety catching a hold of me,

But I don’t think this is how it goes.

I don’t think this is just an everyday thing.

Because I heard you say those three words too much for it to be false.

 

So tell me,

Why did it have to end this way?
