Valediction
As flickering flames surround him
To himself he can no longer be a liar
Will the flames burn off the layers of the past
Or will they become a funeral pyre
Shadows from times gone by
Flicker in unison with the flames
He recognizes each of the faces
He recalls each of the names
Is this man so broken that he can't be fixed?
Is this hellish, tortured life all he will know?
Have no fear my friends, for this is Gregory House
And he and James Wilson have places to go
It is said a man can show no greater love
Than to be willing to lay down his life for his friend
House has put aside what little he held dear
So he may comfort Wilson at the uncertain end
Through trials and tribulations we have followed this show
From great happiness and joy to desperation and sorrow
We were privileged to be part of something unique
But sadly, there are no more tomorrows
We now must walk away with a deep and forlorn sigh
Though indeed it will cause us great pain
But whenever in the future we hear the word [H]ouse
We will never think of it in quite the same way again
