His Goodbye

Farewell
Goodbye
A love to die
Watch time fly
No healing as I cry
Feel the detrimental ache
Of the closing in of my space
Never imagined an ending to this
A last hug, last embrace, a sad last kiss
I wipe your cheek, and take in your perfume
Thought I’d smell your scent forever, I did assume,
Now I sit here alone on our bed of long dead dreams
No children we spoke of 1 day having, it seems 
No future house, with the white picket fence
Deep down we knew, it was all pretence
I watched you drive away in the rain,
My heart burst with fresh pain,
Stayed outside; drenched,
My fists clenched
Knees so weak,
Can’t speak,
Goodbye,
Farewell
