Saying goodbye.

It's impossible to know

how it all began

Now that I can do nothing

but find footprints in sand-

If this is the end

I don't know where to start,

Without building up walls

to protect my heart

It all washes away

the wounds too, eventually

But, closing my eyes

this is still what I see:

That same frozen smile

holding pleasant suprise

As if life were a joke

and death, the punchline.

Afterwards, there was silence

and nothing felt real

For the scars you cannot see

are the hardest to heal.
