Goodbye
Close your eyes and rest
the journey has been taxing and long
my heart cannot sing your song.
You’ve done your best
survived the worst
lived through the pain and life's denying thirst.
Now it comes
the end of all
and I know you must go.
How do I say goodbye
without asking you to stay
just a little longer, just one more day.
It’s too much to ask
you’ve packed your bags
and rallied to the task.
I’m not ready
probably never will be
how do I set you free?
I’m letting go
already missing you
and crying tearfully,
Goodbye.
