Goodbye my love
by Megan
Goodbye my love
I know not when we will embrace once more.
Time is like a number floating in the wind sometimes fast sometimes slow.
Goodbye my love.
Goodbye my love, I'm counting the time, like a slow waltz wishing it not to end, your breath a soft breeze on my cheek.
As you whisper goodbye my love.
I lie here without movement limbs no longer strong but stone like at my side, my heart still beat blood flowing fast, a shell within a shell.
So as I lie here as they come to say goodbye.
My eyes can only say goodbye my love as the light slowly fades.
Goodbye
