Twilight Poem

The day the music died is almost here
And I cannot bear to see that Tuesday dawn
But still it creeps and it draws near
I know I will never see the blue sky the same again
I will never see the horizon through innocent eyes
I can’t see a plane cut through the clouds any more
Without hearing three thousand goodbyes
What do you tell yourself when each day’s over
And your mind keeps saying it can’t be so
What do you say to soothe yourself
When your heart just will not let go
And tomorrow’s racing towards me
The day the music died is drawing near
As Monday reaches a false, serene twilight
That hateful dawn is almost here
And in each haze of twilight
I see you slowly walking to me
At least that’s what I pretend inside
Because you’re the one I want to see
What can I tell myself when each day’s over
And my mind is certain it can’t be so
What can I say to soothe myself
When this heart just cannot let you go
That clear, perfect blue sky will never be perfect again
That horizon is forever corrupted in my eyes
Every plane that cuts through the clouds
Screams three thousand goodbyes
And tomorrow is bearing down the tracks
The day the music died is almost here
As Monday blazes a peaceful, lying twilight
That mournful dawn keeps drawing near
And in that haze of the tenth’s twilight
I can still see you here with me
Even if it’s just a beautiful lie, just pretend
Because you’re the only one I want to see
Can I still reach you after six long years
Can I still see your eyes so bright
Can I hold your hand just one last time
Just one time, can I lose this fight
So I can still feel your heart beat in rhythm with mine
And you can see me once more, just one more time
In this Twilight
