Good-Bye To What Used To Be. . .

Good-bye to the sunlight,
I can see the darkness growing near.
Warm summer days are long gone.
Cold winter nights are moving nearer.

Farewell to the enduring happiness.
Farewell to all the pain.
Farewell to emptiness.
Farewell to being alone.

Good-bye to what used to be.
Good-bye to all the friends,
I may leave behind.
This body, consumed with so much hurt.
I can't handle everyone's problems.

Farewell to this place.
Farewell to all the feelings.
Farewell to what used to be.
Farewell is the last of my words.
