Awful Goodbyes

You left before your time
Leaving me in mournful sighs,
Teach me how to overcome
These awful goodbyes.

Your absence has left a void
That can't be filled or replaced,
No matter where I look,
I see your smiling face.

I can't bring myself to stop
The tears that flow from my eyes,
I've not grown used to
These awful goodbyes.

Every heart has sorrows
Buried within it deep,
You have given me my share
Now it is mine to keep.

Aeons have passed and yet
The tears have never dried,
Still haven't learned to overcome
These awful goodbyes.
