Won't say goodbye
There's nothing good about it
In your eyes
I see the deepening doubt, it
won't be buried by the smile
that you force

And what's the use
We both know that you're leaving
All the truths
Washed from your hands he's squeezing
Someday I'll be strong enough to
win this war

I want to burn
Your image
into my head
Every subtle
Shade of your skin
Please give me
One last look

I'm feeling weak
my throat is thick with venom
when I speak
it's angry accusations
did you pick me up so you could
watch me fall

Cuz if you did
I hope this makes you happy
See the rips
They're tearing me in half, we
only had enough to let us
lose it all

I want to burn
Your image
into my head
Every subtle
Shade of your skin
Please give me
One last look

and don't you dare ever whisper
my name again
don't ever wish that
it wasn't him
cuz it was real and it was right
and it was everything
that should have been
we should have been

I want to burn
Your image
into my head
Every subtle
Shade of your skin
Please give me
One last look

I want to keep
That moment
Here in my heart
Every way you
Felt in the dark
Please give me
One last look

I want to burn
Your image
into my head
Every subtle
Shade of your skin
Please give me
One last look

One last look
For the ZK-Underground prompt, "Last". I was really worried I was burnt out from the Zutara Week stuff but very happy with how this turned out. ANGSTY ONE NIGHT STANDS ARE AWESOME.


All the cool kids are listening to the audio!

I find this fantastic and very touching. Though it is about a one night stand, I feel like it puts a very emotional and innocent look on it. My favorite stanza would probably have to be the second to last one:

"I want to keep
That moment
Here in my heart
Every way you
Felt in the dark
Please give me
One last look"

I found it the most powerful part and a great way to end it. I also find it pretty awesome how you have the audio to it as well. It is clear that you are VERY TALENTED!

Fantastic job! :thumbsup:
