goodbye

i try to reach you

through a foggy mirror

but its panes are distorted

we aren’t getting nearer

now all i see is a faint

reflection in shadow

inspiring these words

but filled with woe

your verses have stuck

and now i see

this isn’t a sad end

it’s setting us free

you have always been

a light to follow

the reason that my writing

is no longer hollow

so i’ll take this chance

to say farewell

to the one who helped me

out of my shell

these words can’t express

all i long to say

to tell you goodbye

before you go away

so thank you.

and goodbye.
