In Good Company

"...you're a good man, Carter..."

Phhh... never has a movie brought more truth to life. Good things might happen, but most are not meant to stay. Still, memories lay thick on my mind as I look back after watching this movie. For one, the moon caught my eye on the way home tonight, just as it has every night for a while. Tonight, however, I chased it all the way here to my roof where I sit pondering under its gaze. How does the moon survive, traveling the skies, tonight so full and in its prime... and yet so all alone? Even the surrounding stars have friends to shine at. But the moon... the moon has nothing. The man on the moon looks sad, as sad tonight as he has looked for eternity. ...but wherein lies his comfort?

I don't know why, but I can somehow feel my own sadness reflected in that of the moon. I am alone as I sit here on this roof; I have nothing, and I am alone. ...and why?? All because of some stupid badass decision I made. And it still hurts. ...why?? Because I'm dumb; and because I see nearly the same things happening to others around me and I fall back into the hellhole that I've dug for myself by doing the things I've done. Stupid. It's stupid and I know it.

Ha ha, I just saw a shooting star. Ridiculous, I know. ...but:

Wishing you were somehow here again . . .
Knowing we must say goodbye . . .
Try to forgive . . .
Teach me to live . . .
Give me the strength to try . . .
No more memories,
No more silent tears . . .
No more gazing across the wasted years . . .
Help me say goodbye. . .
Help me say goodbye.
