Goodbye
You tried to hide your pain, yet we knew you were hurting.You didn’t say you were withering until the moment of your passing.That night your lights went out and sleep stole you away,You plummeted into the abyss, maybe into eternal blissWhere you will live long as you had always said,Where you will be free from…

The Heart That Once Loved True Lies Here
You proclaimed your intent too sweet for her liking,Perhaps it was one of those scripted litanies.Her naïve heart swooned over your tender words,Unaware her peaceful world would crumble. For quite a while she danced gayly,Oblivious to the looming malady.She sang melodies, laughed her heart outLiving in fantasy, without a hint of doubt. But one day,…
