Goodbye to the sun,
this is the last you will shine upon my face
to the wind and the grass
and everything beautiful around this disgrace

Goodbye to the trees and to this house
to the memories I held so dear
to those that haunted me in my sleep
and the one I'm creating out of fear

Goodbye to the faces I know best
and of those I never did meet
Goodbye to the lives I'm leaving behind
and the life I didn't complete.

Goodbye to my friends and family
you were the reason I held on so long
Goodbye to those that helped me
when my life seemed to always go wrong

Goodbye to my cats,
my best friends excited to see me every day
goodbye to the living
as my eyes faded to grey

Goodbye to the dreams I might have had
to the love I never met
Goodbye to the passions that died
and the person I was and hope you don't forget

Goodbye to the life that I once knew
please know I really did try
I love you all
please hold on as I say my goodbye. 

And to the man who loved me.

I won't ask for your forgiveness for leaving.

but know I love you more than words could say
know I really did try
and with tears in my eyes I say
I love you and goodbye
