This is my Goodbye

You wonder why
I disappeared.

You hope that I
Haven't done what you feared.

Yet here I am
In plain sight.

Doing all I can
To make your life go right.

As I watch you
Go on with life.

It's all I can do
To keep my blood off that knife.

You remember that time
So long ago.

When your sun would shine
And your eyes did glow.

That time is long gone
And so am I.

I'm no longer life's pawn,
And this is my goodbye.
