Goodbye

All those days we were waiting.
All those days we were waiting. . .
All those days we were waiting
For her to die

All the hopes that we grasped
With each fading gasp
That fed the miracle held in heart.

But right from the start
There was no chance,
Just time leaping, rushing to pass.

And now set in brass
A name now no more
Only one less reason to be living for

Because ALL of those days we were waiting,
It changed "grave" from emotion to place.
So that on every face there's a missing space

A gaping hole
Of desperate denial.
