Time To Say Goodbye

On this cold and lonely night,
with the moon shining bright,
I lie awake, your picture clutched tight.

The memories cannot be denied,
haunting the caverns of my mind--
like a thief in the night.

How do I say goodbye?
Filled with sadness, I cry,
blaming myself for all the pain.

The tears I shed, they fall like rain.
Loneliness and sorrow
are all that remain.
