Farewell...

Grey streaked skies;

Sadness lined with pain.

Hidden by masks and lies,

Covering up every tear stain.

Handshakes all 'round,

Tears flowed freely towards ground.

As we hugged each other farewell without a sound,

And hoped each had a brighter future to be found.

She seemed happy today...

I'm glad to see she's moved on.

Perhaps a very long time from now, I'll say.

That my pain has fully gone.

But for now, I'll have to carry this broken heart.

With nowhere to seek asylum,

I don't know where to start.

To heal my pain from becoming numb...

I hope she finds happiness, wherever she may be.

I hope he treats her right.

I hope she doesn't remember me,

All the times we had and I hope he keeps her warm at night.

I'm sorry that I couldn't do more.

I'm sorry you had to suffer when you were with me.

I'm sorry, all I can do now is adore,

You from across this painful sea.

Perhaps I'll learn to forget you in time.

But my heart will never feel the same,

For anyone else, because you have tamed me.

And you alone are worth more to me than fame.

Farewell, my Valentine.

I've resorted to this wandering life of mine,

For I can't forget you and how you looked divine.

He is lucky to have you, a wife so fine.

Rain accompanies me,

As I cry for a love lost.

A strike of lightning may set me free,

Because death is the only price for love and I'll bear that cost...
