Journey

Goodbye

By Jennifer ZabalaPublished 8 years ago • 1 min read

You left us in silence not saying a word

You went on a journey and flew like a bird

The feeling inside us when you flew away

Was a feeling that's been here since that very day

I can't live in silence your loss broke my heart

I picked up and pushed on and had to restart

The sadness and memories have been all but good

Oh what I would tell you if only I could

So many things happened that you couldn't see

Inside me I've wished you were here next to me

I hold you so closely in my memory

I tell them about you because they can not see

The day that I lost you in truth I lost me
