Requiem

Goodbye, my love, goodbye…
I pray you’ll come back soon
To hold me tight in your embrace,
And kiss me ‘neath the moon.

Goodbye, sweet friend, goodbye…
I long to see your face,
To hear your voice, and feel you near –
Memories cannot replace.

Goodbye, dear name, goodbye …
I’ll try to persevere
Though my prayers seem to chase the wind,
No matter how sincere.

Goodbye, cold stare, goodbye…
My affection I rescind -
You fooled me from the very start
And, smiling, planned my end.

Goodbye, dry bones, goodbye…
Like death, we do forever part;
I pray God grant you mercy,
For you never had a heart.
