Why didn't you tell me?
Why do i feel stupid now?
Why did i always let you bring me down?
Now i wish you were still in the ground.

I dare you to tell me goodbye
I dare you to finally die
I dare you to go back down
I dare you to tell me goodbye

Your hands, so cold
Just like that one winter
And now I, I don't know
If your a corpse or its just in my head?

I dare you to tell me goodbye
I dare you to finally die
I dare you to go back down
I dare you to tell me goodbye

I don't want you anymore you're too cold.

I'm sorry baby, you're too cold.

I dare you to tell me goodbye
I dare you to finally die
I dare you to go back down
I dare you to tell me goodbye.

Please just die, i don't want you anymore.
Baby, I'm sorry i can't have you anymore.

The author's comments:
I wrote this about a guy who lost his partner, and turned to drugs to heal himself... but in using drugs he dug up the corpse and tried to convince himself they were alive... but now they won't leave, and he has decided he has had enough.

I hope by reading this, people understand that drugs don't help anything, and that when something is gone, its gone... Nothing can bring it back, contrary to popular belief.

Wow, It's really dark, deliciously so. It kinda freaks me out a little. The tone is filled with bitterness and mourning, resentment and longing. nice.

Once again you have an amazing peice written with amazing talent! This one does somewhat seem kind of shorter for a song but then I guess not all songs are that long.

I admire the way you write. It reminds me of about 2 or 3 of my own works. Just of what I've seen of your writings, you're incredibly intelligent and I'd take into true consideration any comment or review left by you on any of my poems. I'm hoping to get more up soon. I have hundreds upon hundreds...too many to upload them all. Only the best.

I was almost crying while reading it. And that's saying something, I'm not moved to tears so easily.

Really, really intense

Do you have a melody for that?

Wow this is really intense! I like how you put the background information. Readers usually like to know where the meaning of the poem originates from. Nice job! Check out some of my work too, if you'd like. Keep writing!
