Life Goes On

- In Memories of Chester Bennington




A memory left behind
Too little time to remind
A faded voice
A blurred image
That sticks around

Life goes on,
Not everyday a reminder
Not every song makes me cry
Heartaches from time to time
Unbearable, not anymore

The gone is gone
Years now,
Many new memories formed
Hidden in shadow,
you lurk in the dark
Waiting for the last song
To resume its pause

Your screams echo
from the Otherside
Your voice breathless,
in repeat, "I had enough"

Trail of thoughts
I am standing in the room
You are hanging from the ceiling
Last breadth disappearing

What is that
A final salvation
A music of relief
Gasping that last air
Your song ended with that beat.

It's not a goodbye
I will remember you
As you were.
Another new song,
another new day
May not be as often
But you keep humming in my ears
You haunt me
And that's okay
stay close by
as your memories fade away.
