Goodbye  
  
The darkness settles in  
A blanket so very cold.  
This day is one that comes,  
We have all once been told.  
The lesson has been learnt  
As we have all grown old,  
And days fly by so quickly  
As time continues to fold.  
Do not blame me thusly  
I am not the one to scold,  
I warn you now poor soul  
For this journey please be bold.  
We should leave this place quickly  
Before flesh begins to mould.  
  
Your loved ones all will mourn,  
Son, daughter and wife.  
But soon they will celebrate  
The essence that was your life.  
Perhaps you should have considered  
Their pains and their strife,  
Before you decided how much  
You relied upon the knife.  
  
You walked within your mind,  
Thinking if you could  
Run the blade along your arm  
And free the ruby blood.  
Now for a whole eternity  
Rest in the box of wood.  
  
Take my hand and follow me  
Towards the light up in the sky.  
Each step upon the staircase,  
A path on which we die.  
Your heart's drowning sorrow  
Is not the reason you cry.  
I can see within your soul  
There is no way to lie.  
Now hush your silly noise  
And let me dry your eye.  
Come now don't you cower  
There's no need to be shy.  
Look back down upon the Earth,  
Now to say goodbye.
