GOODBYE MY LOVE

We shared the joy
And shared the pain
Of four forgotten years
And as my heart
Recalls the joys
My eyes recall the tears

For although life
Is never perfect
And things were not quite right
I miss the silence
And the peace
I felt deep in the night

In our great plans
Of future
There was a tiny flaw
You grew to know me
As no other
And rejected what you saw

This rejection come
Has filled me with
Despair and uncertainty
And I'll spend my days
Searching my soul
In hopes of finding me

I feel to be
So unimportant
To future and to history
I matter not
To the World
And least of all to me

The feelings of
Incompetence
They fill me up inside
And leave me wishing
That I could
Just lay down and die

I feel to be
Not good enough
For our society
I want to erase
My own existence
From future history

I feel to be
Simply not worth
The effort took to kill
For
broken hearts
And shattered dreams
Have took with them my will

I felt that my
Profound words
Would help someone, someday
And now I turn
To them myself
And try to find the way

I felt to be
Going somewhere
Some great destiny in time
But now I feel
There's nothing left
In this destiny of mine

I once taught that
Everyone's life
Regardless of how bland
Was still worth living
If nothing else
To see the beauty in the Land

But now the Land
It has been changed
And it holds beauty not
It holds instead
The piercing pain
The future's presence brought

I was a man
Of simple dreams
Who held my life so dear
I held a vision
Of the World
As someplace very near

But now the World
It seems so small
So distant and obscure
And my purpose here
Within the World
Is something that's unsure

My purpose once
Was to show the World
Some peace and serenity
But now the meaning
Of life and world
Seems utter insanity

So now that time
Has ended
And all my days stand still
I leave with you
In honest hope
My last testament and will
