The Final Farewell

The glittering beauty of the heavens
Scattered across the onyx night skies
Bears witness to my need to be forgiven
And the pain of a thousand lies

The sobering misery of being alone
A painful acceptance that I have to let go
To walk away, to step back into the unknown
And embrace the shadows like I did once long ago

How will I cope without your warm caress?
The ambrosial scent of your silken hair
This pain is impossible to express
Why don't you care?

With a single tear I turn away
And lose myself in a world of disarray
