Solaris' Message

Solaris message
the message was so deep, so beautiful
that it brought tears to my eyes
and made me hope

in the movie, his wife kills himself because she is depressed
and tells him that she can't make it without him
but he leaves anyway
only for her to take pills, and all the lifelong pain
when he comes back for her, it's too late, he's gone

this man, who saw no need to believe in God
was humbled, was so haunted that he dreamed of her daily
and couldn't go on without her
if he had just not been so angry, his soul mate would still be alive

how i long to end it
i wonder who would find me
who would be the first person to see me enter into my next leg of the journey
but you tell me that you're not worth ending my life over, that no one is

am i worth ending my life over
i try so hard to be a good person
not to hurt anyone
but it's always me who ends up getting hurt

I can't deal with the pain anymore
you have gone, but will you return
we have similar issues, yet you see mine as petty
you criticize, you make me cry

if i died, would you come back for me
and grind your teeth, and grab your heart for your loss
or would you just joke about how pathetic i am
and tell all my friends that i was a weak person

would my 'friends' even care
would they know how much they contributed to my demise
would they even apologize to me at my funeral
i doubt it, they are so selfish that they don't see

it doesn't make me selfish to deal with pressure differently from others
if i don't go out, it's my business
no one else's
if i hide, and don't want to be found, it's my right

the message of solaris was beautiful
life on earth can be hell
and sometimes anger can take someone away for years
but the love you share with someone will never die

today, yesterday, and everyday from now on, i pray that god will end this pain
will take me from this place
i'm through
i don't want to experience anymore of this

so solaris, if i had the nerve, i would hope for the ending that made me smile
star-crossed lovers are only separated on earth
but heaven is a beautiful place
full of happiness and second chances
