Butterflies and Sincere Goodbyes

I watched you walk away as you etched out, the decades of love we had shared
You walked out of my life, without a second thought
Leaving me alone, desolate, despairing
For how does one win back, a mind already turned?

The cold night when you left me, you passed, leaving
If only I had the power to bring you back, to let your humour and love
Once more fill your earthy shell
Rather you were lost, away from where you could be caught

A butterfly.
Tempting, teasing, always out of reach
But always in the forefront of my mind
How can you be gone if you are here in my vision?

The nights I suffered without you
Reaching for you, speaking to you, without realisation
That you would never hear another word I spoke
Never again feel loves sweet caress

Sincere goodbyes, farewells, adieus
What words can ever be used
When an eternity of forever alone
Awaits
