Goodbye

Standing in the rain,

screaming at the sky

A voice inside me whispers,

help is on the way

~

Falling to the ground,

my hands raised to the sky

You heard my crying,

you said, help is on the way

How many days now , god it seems like years,

I’ve been alone, drowning in these tears

My friends abandoned, left me here to die,

the pain it lingers, oh, why’d you say goodbye

~

My thoughts are heavy

my hearts a ghost town,

A hollow shell, filled with distant memories

I feel your fingers lightly trace my face,

but it’s not real, just my mind playing games

You said forever, always and anon

they were just words, tattoos on my skin

When things got hard you packed up and moved on,

I’m left alone, paying penance for our sins

~

I know better now, no help is coming

no one to rescue, no one to save

You were that hero, the one I thought could heal me,

I hear the whispers, I’m too far gone to save

My fate is clear, this is reality,

No one is coming,

no happy end for me

Live like a ghost in this town that is my heart,

alone and haunted tattooed with these scars

Goodbyes never lie

Goodbyes never lie

It’s true, goodbyes don’t lie
