Goodbye

A young boy walks the halls

A shadow of his once existence

A fragment of his very being

Someone forgotten

His footsteps echo throughout the corridor

Dead footsteps; empty in a way.

The black marble gleams in the pale moonlight

A mere memory

Encased in a glass tomb; a fragile girl

Her skin as light as snow, her hair as dark as coal

She has died before her time

An empty shell

He kneels before the once beautiful maiden

He knows no love will bring her back

He cries one solitary tear in the darkness

Alone

Her gentle eyelids flutter open for just a moment

She sees his sparkling tear in the moonlight

She feels his pain; but she is

No more

The boy rises to his feet and turns to leave

Behind him the sparkling coffin that enshrouds

His only sweet love

Farewell

He cries more tears in the starry night

But he knows in his heart that she is gone

He still remembers her death

Memory

All the blood spilled from her heart

As the tears slid down her face

She said her farewell

Death

There is no life in her empty eyes

She is gone forever into the darkening mist

Goodbye my sweet love

Goodbye
