Waving goodbye

it is formal and old

and in this scenario

it seems oh, so cold

I am sorry to leave

sorry for you and my son

but the weight of this burden...

it is more than a ton

our little home

is comfortless

and to be loved by me any longer

I am sure you could care less

it will take too much

to say the sorry's I should

and if I could turn around

believe me,

I would

but that is not possible

to hurt is too deep

you should never have given me

your heart to keep

I have struggled with this for so very long

but I cannot fight any longer

I am simply not strong

enough of these facts

can place your mind at ease

I cannot just stay

for your mind to appease

you are better off without me

stronger than you know

it has been a long time coming

but, my love, I must go

I bid you farewell until we meet again

and I am sure in due time that we will

I hope you understand
