a goodbye so sad to see come true

the shadows are all that have been left behind
of words you spoke
and scorched the soul
of he who loved and never left
before

where but once upon a time
so near but long ago
the thoughts of a life forever mine
that never reached, never let go
and held on to the whispers of a magic heart
have frozen solid
over the sea laid bare by the words
you dared
to speak

to a soul much frightened,
so used to dreams come true
only in a dream
and only with you
as fate would have it
and fear would see
the things that were never meant to be


goodbyes are all that are left
for you
for me
