Goodbye
Comforting words
Smooth, quiet tones
Reassurance
complete confidence
Long nights spent reasoning
In total understanding
Twin thoughts
twin minds
twin miseries
and twin fates
Now it’s so quiet
Too quiet
Complete and utter silence....
Oh my God,
What happened to the good old days
When we both made sense?!
Lost in blurry dreams of childhood
Colorful, wonderful, windy days
Subconscious cradled memories
of the times when we
were eachother’s only friends
Only you,
the sky
the earth
and me...
No betrayal
No lies
No fire
No hate
No regrets.
I think I can understand
why you won’t face me
But your sudden silence
is so confusing
Did you ever know me well enough
to know my affection for ultimate honesty?
If you wanted me to go away
why didn’t you just say something?
Only this emptiness is left
Inconsolable grief...
For what never again can be
No warning
No parting words
No ceremony
You went and had the funeral
for our friendship
but did not invite me
From the start
I thought these ways would always be
But in the end,
All I wanted, my friend
was to say
goodbye.
I can’t trust anyone
anymore
anyway
All alone again
shame on me
