Goodbye, my Friends
(For Ashley, Cheyenne, Clint, and Amy)

Within sad places have I dwelt
These corners of my mind
And shamefully I speak of them
And peace I'll maybe find

Forgiveness lacks the gilded touch
And love which grated thee
Regret whose binding hands grip tight
Still softly torment me

Upon the hour I've spoken
My heart doth call her name
Yet ears are none to hear me
Alone I'm still the same

How does the world answer
How can she just ignore
Does presence take injustice
For what's this sorrow for

But an answer have I sought
And come up just the same
And though I've learned this lesson well
The emptier I became

Yet as the world treats me
And love I'm sure to gain
I still can't help but smile
For memories unstained

And as the "walk" does comfort
My weary wandering mind
This journey which I've taken
Shall leave this pain behind

But sad be not great friends of mine
This life has just begun
And in the end you'll surely see
We never lost ... we won ...
