The end has come
A final goodbye
You pushed me away
I always wondered why…
But I will never know
As my heart sighs for the last time
A page in history
One that’s been turned
A valley I have crossed
A bridge has been burned
There are no connections left
Only memories remain
There is no room in my heart
To hold onto what’s been slain
A scent of cinnamon and liquor
Evokes that once warm embrace
Where once a tear would fall
Now a smile shall take its place
A long way I have traveled
That twinge of heartache lifted
Lesson I have come to value
Aware of qualities I resented
I know not yet who I am
But I do know that I’m learning
So long as love exists
My heart’s flame will be burning
The end has come
A final goodbye
You didn't let me stay
I always wondered why…
But I will never know
As my heart sighs its final goodbye
