Goodbye, Rose

Tears shed, words unsaid

Mournful now, regretful later

Fear silenced words of love

A limp wave, a small smile

Watching as he goes

So many things left to be forgotton

Laughter, dancing, grins

Joyous moments now gone

Has earth no pity?

Laughter like wind chimes

Eyes like bluebells

"Goodbye, Rose."

"Till again we meet."

Fear raises his voice

And wonderings arise

Will we meet again?

Good things rarely stay

Oh, bliss of days past!

Forgotton dreams, desolate summers

Words left unsaid

To remain hauntingly evermore.
