Farewell

I had to say good-bye today
Haunting memories from my past
For every time i bid farewell
I swear it is the last.

 I seen it in your eyes lastnight
Felt it, while you were kissing me
Aware that things are not quite right
I must be strong and let you be.

 So I had to say good-bye yesterday
Am missing you already
But I have walked this road so long
My legs are strong and steady

 I can feel the tears rising up
But never do they spout
For I have shed a thousand tears
Years ago they all dried out.

 I had to say good-bye last week
Many nights spent sifting through the pain
I have bid farewell, this one last time
My heart cant take the strain
    To many scars
     To many tears.
                           Has driven me away
