Goodbye

Written

By

HP for my godfather

My dreams had come true

You entered my life

Like a shooting star at night

The light within my heart

Was ablaze at last

It's once whimpering soul

Now cheerful and bright

My shoulders were light

The world's pain lifted from them

Thanks to you, amazing you

You saved me from my fear

Fear that had dug its claws into my heart

Like a predator hunting for prey

Yes my life was bright

My heart light

Yet my sight was tainted from the reality of life

Now you are gone

My light taken away

My soul destroyed

You were torn from my life

Oh godfather mine

I will miss you

I will remember you

I never told you

Oh godfather mine

The things I wanted to tell you

I love you

You, the father I never had

You made me laugh

You made me smile

You made me feel safe

The last thing I can say is

I miss you

Oh godfather mine

goodbye
