Valediction

There is a deep sadness within
As the first became the last
Yet nothing could replace the given
Every beat, a masochistic struggle

Absurdity devours the essence
Failed attempts resurface
Hope in here lives frozen
Poison settles in habits cold

No pedestal in this nightmare valley
Stand on only offered necks and broken bones
No blame to those who rise reluctantly
Memories made are gold and blinding

Looking back is always bittersweet
Soft skin and rough demeanor lie
Since that day on Northern Shepard Street
Changing all and none with time

Dread was not a stranger to the end
My life’s regret will be not knowing who you are
From love at first sight to electronic friend
Infinite words and emotion, yet only to say

In sincerest adoration and debilitating sorrow
With love from regions in the heart I did not know

Goodbye
