Good-by...
I ache for the hand of another so very much
The one by my side is there by time alone
We've drifted too far from one-another, are love is bare to the bone
Times surely made a fool of what we called forever
To have seen this ending of us coming, just a week ago, I'd of said never
She still smiles the same, & hugs with what seems good intent
But her eyes show cloudy storms of building resentment
Seems we both had sights on another, but neither could say fair well
Now, we quietly yell in our shared self-made hell
The bells chime only for time
No memories cared to share
Our love blossomed, dwindled, & now we stand in a garden so bare
Who'd a guessed, the words were all empty, every one so hollow
We're both at the breaking point, lips at the ready, to lash out, neither one first willing to swallow
Who's gonna stand.... will words be said
Or will walking away be enough to let our lifeless love lay dead
I don't know, at this point, I think I don't care
All I know is, the breeze has yet to change my blank stare
From a piece of peace, the answers clear
All I have to do, is move past a few possibilities of fear
As I started to say, she simply stood
"Everything hasn't been okay, we're not good"
"I think I should go, be on my own..."
"We've had our time, & I feel there's nothing else to be shown..."
"Thanks for the memories, but I'm not strong enough to stay...
"I'm feeling the breeze will stop soon, & I'll be too calm to get carried away..."
She beat me, the words I would of said a second more...
So now, I must smile & say goodbye to the one I did adore...
To my mirror, now back turning
The fire we shared in love finally stopped burning
The shadows grow outward over the hill
Too much time passed with both of us standing still
Up I go, back to the rubble we once shared
With the good times, I'll forget the day she finally dared
To walk away from what was, be it uneasy in the end
I'll always have a hand out for a not so close friend...
......if she ever wanted...
