Good bye to the lips

by Leah   May 17, 2006


Where are those bleeding angels
that flew wistfully in the sky
where are those sullen tears, that I always use to cry?

Where are the evergreen rose stems, that taught me how to love you well, and where is that old unseen essence, that held me in your spell?

Where did your hands go
that use to hold my hand secure
and where is my innocent virginaty
that was always so completely pure?

Where are those beckoning eyes
that made the aching disappear
where are those longing eyes I knew? They once were so sincere.

Good bye to the boy
that I once loved
good bye to his shy smile
and now I look back to the past
knowing it was all worthwhile.

Good bye to the birds
that sang our song
as they sat amoung the trees
good bye to his oversized sweater
that kept me from the breeze.

Good bye to those seductive eyes
that told me our love was strong
and I was just a kid back then
unaware of things that were all wrong.

Good bye to those manly hands
that knew just where to touch
good bye to all the tears I cried
that didn't help me much.

Good bye to the guitar you played
as we would watch the twinkle of the stars rise,
and here my tears gush out again,
for I'm running dry of good byes.

And here I tread along a path alone, funny how the day drifts by, when your on your own.

Well farewell to my first love
farewell to my tempting desire,
good bye to the only boy
who could set my heart on fire.

Crying like a shot soldier
I cannot handle this
good bye to the boy, the lips
that taught me how to kiss.
