Final Goodbye

This pain is so intense
I never thought I would have to bear

This enormous feeling of emptiness
knowing you are no longer there

 

I try to ignore the dead silence 
that endlessly screams your name 
but my efforts to shut it out 
Is just a painful silly game

 

Your time with me has expired 
our journey has come to a close
to think you would be here forever
Was just selfish of me i suppose

 

But now i must accept 
and face the painful fact 
that the knowledge of our fate
is never really exact

 

So now I must face my fear 
and say my final goodbye
Continue to be strong 
and pretend not to cry

 

I know you are safe
and not suffering anymore 
as you step across the threshold 
of heavens golden front door
