Goodbye

Our memories fail, they never last

For time was made to erase the past

Though echoes try to preserve your voice

It starts to fade, it has no choice

While tomorrow chases another day

More of you will slip away

If that's the way it's meant to be

I pray this pain will set me free

Sorrow comes but will not leave

For too much love can make you grieve

A shadow sits in your old chair

I think of you but you're not there

Sometimes the wind will say your name

Each day my heart will do the same

We'll meet again, this truth I know

But I wasn't ready to let you go

I know that God doesn't make mistakes

He heals my heart each time it breaks

But it really doesn't matter how hard we try

There's no easy way to say goodbye

very well written Whiskurz. Some really great lines in there: "a shadow sits in your old chair," "The wind will say your name" and "each day my heart will do the same." All gems and each one worthy of being the inspiration for new poems incorporating them. (would stealing one or two of them be plagiarism?) I'm guessing they would. Again, a write which if it were mine I would be very proud of.

Sorrow comes but will not leave
For too much love can make you grieve
A shadow sits in your old chair
I think of you but you're not there
Sometimes the wind will say your name
