Tender Goodbye

Tender Goodbye The moon gently touches the tears on a tender face, A woman dressed in black surrendering to fate. Big empty eyes stare sadly into the darkness of the night, Hiding inside the sadness for retiring her fight. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dark footprints move slowly over the quiet earth. Searching for a place where tomorrow won't hurt. The night is tired and drained from all light, Trying to hide painful memories tonight. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The woman moves gently to a place where time, Would ease the heartache caused by this day. Stars shine like scars in a face no one knows, The old still new to those born not so long ago... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The moon reaches the place where two days meet, Knowing that time has ended this day. Tender is the moment when two souls meet, Eyes wishing each other a moment of peace. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The footprints move away from the dark, Disappear in the light of the morning rays. Yesterday trapped in the memories of today, Tomorrow just a thought for those who had to stay.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Time moves sadly when days hide the sorrow, Trapped carefully away from tomorrow. Yesterday's tears dry gently when the morning glow, Kiss the moon a tender Goodnight.
