Final Goodbye



How could I not see?

The things I always say

How could I not look?

And see it the same way



What would it take to understand?

What it’s like to be like you

How long until I understand

What you need me to do



It’s been so long for me

Hanging by and by

Since the last time with thee

I thought that I would die



I’ve seen so many faces

And heard so many lies

I’ve been in different places

But my heart, it still cries



You seem to always know

Just what you need to say

When I always need to show

To keep my heart at bay



The last time that I saw you

You’re hair was white as snow

I saw the things that you do

And you knew that I know



Your gaze it never left mine

My face was blood drained pale

The puncture wound was easy

A single rusted nail



So what is it that I do now?

My eyes so filled with fear

Does my life take a bow?

From the man I held so dear



The blood it spilt around us

Upon the ground and snow

I know you do what you must

You take the final blow



Her blood it mixes with mine

The smell I knew so clear

To heaven I wish to climb

But I know that hell is near



So I take my final look at you

The blade now rose at me

I simply don’t know what to do

My love forever you’ll be



My body lies upon the ground

With blood not warm but cold

I wish my body to be found

Before the evidence runs old



You leave a single tear mark

While you walk around the bend

My own heart attacked by a shark

By my long beloved friend



So this is my final goodbye

To the man I never knew

And as I leave with one last sigh

I still believe in you
