The Silence of Goodby

By: Ella Kay

Soft shadowed light
grey/blue smoke
a candle, lights my night.
Dim as my soul
this night
does it glow.

Mine heart beats quietly
waiting
all is still
around
night sounds
whisper
a single tear falls.

A heavy sigh escapes
mine lips
those lips that
so loved yours.
Cooled now
by loneliness
they tremble
and a single tear falls.

One tear of good bye.
one tear of love lost
one tear of passions cooled
one tear of sorrow
so much is said
when ...

a single teardrop falls
