Goodbye

The end has come for me today
so I must say good-bye
It may be hard to understand 
but I trust that you will try

My heart's so filled with emptiness 
controlled by misery
I've finally seen that what I am 
was never meant to be

The tears I've cried so recently 
are for pain nobody knows
I just can't take it anymore 
it's time for me to go

Is life suppose to be this way 
with thoughts of suicide
Or has my life become a loss 
with no one to confide

Does anybody understand 
the pain that fills my heart
Or understand that all of this 
is tearing me apart

Concealment isn't optional 
for no one seems to care
I hide within my shattered thoughts 
While drowning in despair

My heart has grown so heavy 
and still I don't know why
But the end has come for me today 
so I will say good-bye

Goodbye is so awful but at time has to be made. A hard decisive step of life! Like it. :) Sunita
