this is my goodbye.

i have left and i have gone

swifter than the sky

do not follow, don’t come near

this my goodbye

i see you in the knotted trees

an echo of our love

if i was the fallen bird

you were the dove

i see you in the crystal lake

a mirror, shinning lie

you and i are not the same

this is my goodbye

my mind is at war, raging war

i wish we were back home

but alas i’m gone and never there

through the world i’ll roam

bitter words come to mind

when i see your face

you may think this feeling hate

but that is not the case

i love you dearly, i always have

and forever more i will

but this force so strong scares me

and so shall scare me still

i will not forget the longing desire

as much as i try

that you have sparked in me

so this is my goodbye
