I Bid You Adieu

I Bid You Adieu

The skin begins to grow,
And the dusk begins to twist,
The nuns begin to pray,
And God creates his list.

We are all with the Devil,
Living in his own domain.
As the ceiling falls upon the darkened Hell,
Angels scream and tear their wings far from their shells.
Human beings watch from where they stand on Earth,
Knowing just below the surface, the Devil is perched.

Dreaming in a tree, watching as it burns,
The people come out to watch this silent plead.
Don%u2019t forget the moment when he said to you,
%u201CI am all that remains, and I will love you too.%u201D

Perhaps he was right, or perhaps he was wrong.
Now the people strive to stay strong.
With one last breath, I answered back,
%u201CYes sir, I know what this world lacks.%u201D
It%u2019s love, it%u2019s hope, it%u2019s all that can%u2019t remain.
And with this last remaining strand of this world,
It will continuing it%u2019s suffering pain.
