Goodbye My Love

As the world grows darker in your absence,
I sit here waiting for you to return;
A twitch of your finger,
A flicker of your eyes,
Something to tell me
That you will bring light back into my life.
I lay a rose at your breast,
Red as the blood my heart beats for you.
I miss the warm words,
The smiles and laughter,
The happiness we shared...
But you are gone now,
Too far out of my reach
That I can only hope to catch a glimpse.
I grow tired though,
Lonely and cold,
Saddened by losing you.
I must live on though,
Must find another light to shine on my life.
I'm sorry to depart from your side,
You are a part of me that will never be replaced,
Part of my heart and soul,
I will love you to my dying day,
Goodbye.
