Goodbye
by Cora Windover

*~*~*~*

Say goodbye and let me leave
To break your holding over me
This burden I have beared too long
This silver chain, this twisted song

Say goodbye and let me go
Alone with footprints in the snow
My one remaining memory
This silver chain, this melody

Say goodbye and I'll be gone
It's time for me to move along
You never gave me room to cry
This silver chain, this lullabye

To leave or stay, to go or lie?
So much of life has passed me by
My friends were right this final time
I'm still unique, the choice is mine

Say goodbye and let me leave
No more are you a part of me
This burden was too much to take
So say goodbye, and let me break.
