THE SOUNDS OF GOODBYE

 

Fingers tapping on the table

As the rain comes down –

The night she left me felt like hell,

And reasoning is not to be found!

Quietness now fills the room

As reality slowly come to light –

Loneliness is like a sad tune,

The sounds of goodbye can say,

“Love is a man’s endless fate!”

And now I have lost my way –

The rain pounds on the window

As if it can feel my pain . . .

My heart still holds her memory,

And her sweet love still haunts me!
