Farewell
The happiness that once radiated out from the deepest core of my body
The genuine smile that had been so common
The proud, tender smile that glowed in my every feature-
To all of that, farewell.
The love that I wanted with everything I have
The hope of finding that someone so special
The friends that up until recently had been the meaning of my life
As for my closeness to them and my every hope and dream-
Farewell.
It might be ridiculous to close myself off, but if I am honest I really don't care.
I figure it's time, if I want my hearts survival, to be a friend to myself
And only myself.
Gone is the me who wore her heart on her sleeve
Gone is the woman who yearned for a love
Gone is all feeling except the determination to remain closed off from all that I once
cherished.
Gone. I am gone.
Now farewell.
