Goodbye

To whom it may concern my life is slipping away from me
I have no control over thy painful thoughts
I weep in my heart, but you don't want to hear
I scream in my soul, but you look away
I wretch in agony, but you don't want to know
You don't want to know that you caused this pain

I cry out in the night for your sweet embrace
Your touch and sweet words, "No one can take your place"
But, I feel her presence no matter what I do
I wish you could let go of her
Let there only be two
