Goodbye
A memory, A distant dream
a lonely heart, a silent scream,
The love that's lost, the sorrow it brings.
The melody that sadness sings,
The misery of a lonely room,
the darkened rays of a troubled moon.
The coldness of my heart and soul,
the not knowing where to go.
Everyday asking why,
the saddest word is goodbye.
