all the love that we shared now forgotten
erased with one word from your lips
tho not cruel or unkind that you meant it
it still hurt me and made me breathless
both our heart forever shattered
the heartache and anguish deeply felt
not able to pretend any longer
we smile through tears and move on
"goodbye" was the end and our last words
before we destroyed what was left
