Final Goodbye


Salty tears run down my face

I finished last in this long race

You had vansihed without a trace.

My stomach tight, my mouth tart

I lost your love, your reckless heart

Now someone else has a head start.

We had made it through countless trials

But now there's no more laughs and smiles

I won't be walking down any aisles. 

I had the vulnerability of a small fawn

Never thought I'd be the one you cheat on

Maybe it is a good thing you are gone. 

Thank you for opening my oblivious eyes

Your innocent ocean blues were just a disguise

I hope other girls will be much more wise.  

I feel something inside me slowly die

I guess this must be our final goodbye

After all, our forevers were just a lie.
