Good-byes
By Gunslinger
If you could see me crying- There'd be no denying... The truth about the way I care for you. If you could hear my sighing, You'd know I was not lying- That every single "I love you" was true. While words may flow like rivers- There's one which gives me shivers... A word that seems to always make me cry. It's one that breaks all fetters- Containing seven letters... I guess you've figured out, I mean "good-bye"? The fault is mine, I reckon- Like sirens, love does beckon... And promises so much more than it holds. And leaves you lost and lonely... With your one and only- When the tragic side of circumstance unfolds. I'm vowing now forever... I'll keep my heart and never... Allow myself to dream another lie... And never hurt another- The way I hurt one other... With the tragic little lie, I told- "good bye". What's good about one leaving- When they leave another grieving? With tear stained cheeks, and red and swollen eyes... Pillows wet from crying- I guess there's no denying... There is no such a thing as "good" good-byes.
