Say Goodbye

She dropped hints and showed signs before it came to this,

but everyone remained a silent witness.

Now all that's left: to place on her cold skin, a kiss;

to accept that you've lost someone you'll always miss;

to say to the casket, "I'm sorry and goodbye";

to lie in your room at night in regret and cry;

to know saying, "I did all I could" is a lie;

to know that she didn't deserve or need to die;

to ask yourself in silence "Is it all my fault

that she will never grow up to be an adult?"

You, and others, belong to your own kind of cult:

of people who watched and chose to interfere not.
