Fare Well

just a little too tired today 
i've been waiting so long that there's 
an ache that just won't go away
clutching still at my teddy bears 
too tired to cry 
or say goodbye

just a little too sad today 
one place less in musical chairs
"i lost a friend" it's all i say 
it burns too much, endless dares
too sad to try, 
or even lie

This is a sad tale indeed. Very nicely penned. I like your last couplet in each stanza. Linda
