His Departure

A sweet lullaby whispered in my ear
Echoing, echoing in the darkness
He can feel the smile upon my lips
Such a beautiful thing it is

I reach out for his gentle hand
My fingers entwined with his
A tear falls into the nothingness
Splashing on my damp pillow

My mind is filling with empty thoughts
A loneliness so deep and sad
I thought this love I feel would last
But thus, I was oh so wrong

My eyes search deep into his
Just looking for the light
An answer that would make it okay
Surely that answer exists

His parting words, the last thing
The innocent hush he gives me
And nothing more, my only fear
I'm alone in my dark surrender
