This Is Goodbye

My back is broken
My heart has shattered
And I’ve tried

Stood by waiting all the while
Cutting a path to my future
Just to look back with pain
At a clearing now drenched in rain

Fought the hard battles
With you and myself
But its worth was lost

Forgiveness was grant unto thee
Though forgetting will never be
As a crack runs through me
Ne’er to see whole it will be

If only had you tried
Could I still be
Willing to stand with ye

Now time has been given
But no more of mine
As you’ve squandered it all
Chasing things unreal

Willing was I
To go through depths
If you were to join

But this time I say no
Refusing to venture further
Back down a path once traveled
A path I traveled alone

So this is goodbye
To my feelings
And of you

In your journey floating
May you find things of value
And may you learn hard
Their true worths with sorrow

Costs I’ve paid
Have been paid well
As I’ve learned the value of self

So may you be brought to places
Once only of dreams
As I find that myself
Is still wishing you well

And this is goodbye
Said with only one
Sweet tear to drop from my eyes
