The Chatroom Departure

When once a heart did shine so bright When once a soul was lifted When once a smile meant so much When once a life was gifted When once a hand reached out When once a hand was taken When once I made a friend When once that trust forsaken When once you made me laugh When twice you made cry I knew that very moment Was the time to say good-bye Good-byes are never easy There are no words to say Only remnants of emotions That I must put away A treasure chest of memories Once good have turned to bad Pages filled with the names of friends That once I thought I had So many times I was told What you read is not real But ever more hurtful Are the words that they conceal I came with good intentions I will leave the very same way With this farewell, comes advice Please hear me when I say Choose your words carefully For fragile hearts do exist When you feel the need to gossip Temptation you must resist And choose your friends cautiously Need you ask me why Instead of me, it could be you Typing this good-bye For those of you that lied to me Your words I will not miss So from my heart I say to you My rosey bum you can kiss And to those that are sincere You know who you are Call me when you need me I shant go very far.....
