Farewell

The happiness that once radiated out from the deepest core of my body The genuine smile that had been so common The proud, tender smile that glowed in my every feature- To all of that, farewell. The love that I wanted with everything I have The hope of finding that someone so special The friends that up until recently had been the meaning of my life As for my closeness to them and my every hope and dream- Farewell. It might be ridiculous to close myself off, but if I am honest I really don't care. I figure it's time, if I want my hearts survival, to be a friend to myself And only myself. Gone is the me who wore her heart on her sleeve Gone is the woman who yearned for a love Gone is all feeling except the determination to remain closed off from all that I once cherished. Gone. I am gone. Now farewell.
