Our Final Goodbye
Tossing and turning
Within the stormy waves
Gasping for air
Trying to hold on
To whispered promises
We once believed in
I cry out in hopes
Someone will notice and
Pull me from the storm of despair
The waves sway me to and from
Trying to hold on to memories of us
Along the suffocating sea of sadness
I shout in the void
Hoping someone will notice and
Bring me to safety along the shore
Until I realize the only way to live
Requires letting go of the heartache
Letting go of the pain that weighed me down
Now I must say my final goodbye
To let everything of you and us
Sink into the distant past where it belongs
