Goodbye

Until has come and gone and now
ashes only lay upon
a dream where once hope struggled.
Yet oddly now one single tear
is all thats left these cheeks to wear
and through a dazed and vacant stare
witness the curtain fall.

So now the dolls are put to bed
and only ghostly footfalls tread
the empty halls within a now ebon heart.
And though each breath brings bitterness
the acrid taste of uselessness,
to lips no longer meant to kiss,
breathe long enough to wish angels goodbye.

"Goodbye"
