Goodbye

The house is still,

The walls are bare.

Nothing seems real,

But I don\'t seem to care.

 

The rooms ache 

From the pain within,

Murmuring constant heartbreak,

Vowing never to love again.

 

I see your face before me

Quiet sorrow in your eyes,

No hope to set us free,

No chance for our goodbyes.

 

Memories start to return

As numbness fades away.

Unshed tears cause my eyes to burn,

How will I make it through today?

 

Shared laughter from long ago

Reminds me of happy times,

Silly arguments and an \'i told you so\'

Childhood games, songs and rhymes.

 

I tell myself I\'ll be alright

But I know it\'s just a lie.

Pain conquers through the night

And I haven\'t the strength to try.

 

You will never know what you mean to me.

No-one else knows how I\'m feeling.

More powerful than seen to be,

My heart, my soul will soon join you,

 

God willing.
