Farewell

A Poem by Shayna

From early '07.

"Farewell"

The hollow word echoes in her mind.

"Farewell"

His last words spoken; her last words heard.

"Farewell"

The tears blind her, but nothing blinds her mind from the sight of him, riding into the distance on horseback, ready to fight a hopeless battle.

"Farewell"

The only thing she remembers.

Because "I'll see you again" is worse than

"Farewell" when

"Farewell" is the only truthful thing said.
