Forever Goodbye

To Willow

Times a passing
Over so quickly
These memories aren't lasting
And my heart is feeling sickly

A promise holds no grounds
You're slipping away
This depression has no bounds
Sweet innocents left not to say

Slow and steadily you fall
I can't make it there to catch you
I wonder if anything at all
Can be seen through your depression hue

Happy times is what you hide
Another reason to run
I'm tired of hearing of all the time you cried
Because now all the happy times equal none

Forever goodbye
Is what I see
Another time I shall cry
Yet you still long to be free

You're falling so fast
I can't catch you; I'm not there
You're lingering in the past
And the tears mingle with your hanging hair

So deep you fall into pain
I scream you name in my dreams
I try to reach for you in vain
I can still hear your screams

Quietly I wonder if you're spirit is alive
Just so I can pretend you're happy
I know you no longer thrive
And that this death may be the way to be free

Hiding behind these words of pain
I'm still screaming for you to come back
I'm still holding out to you in vain
But your memory is slowly fading to black

Forever goodbye
Is what I see
Another time I shall cry
Yet you still long to be free

I wait for you to leave me behind
To move into the light of the starry sky
With all your words, so beautiful, so kind
It's hard to believe that your pillow hides your cry

I try so hard to see you
But now it's like you not there anymore
All your words hit so true
But it's like you've already hit the floor

I can't catch you anymore
Your long past me
Moving towards the closing door
You're escaping, you're almost free

I know you think I don't care
I know you think I don't understand
I'm sorry sweet girl, I'm trying so hard to repair
All the scars leading up to your hand

Forever goodbye is what I have to say
Because Willow, you're falling way too fast
I'm still trying to keep the tears at bay
But you're already fading into the past
