Goodbye
Maybe it's just me or something I learned from the road.
Im seen as a person I know longer know.
The wind has turned a chill and it's telling me to go.
A man can smile while dying inside.
Im empty no longer can i find that common ground
inwhich to confide.
Alone in a place I dont wanna be unable to speak
for I am a coward whos held it in for so long I cant even function
like a normal person.
I need to hear it's goona be alright but I know what lurks
in the distance i see the road ahead shouldI just allow the pain
to consume me again.
I know the answer so with a heavy heart
to this book I write the final chapters end.
Maybe its a cowards act its not so easy when you understand
that in time you will lose anyway.
I am not a statue made of stone.
Content to stand cold and alone.
Nor do I wanna spend the rest of my life wishing for what does not
yern for me.
When im found I wonder howit will be seen.
Anger is normal I just ask that you never
forget me.
