Goodbye twenty seventeen
Your final days, eclipsed
By bitter clouds of snow
Dancing, swirling about
Making us long for the warmth
Of a springtime shower, or
The glow of the sun against
The blue waters of the ocean
Blankets spread out, picnics
And Frisbee, kites flying
And castles built in the sands
Time slips by, again and again
Goodbye twenty seventeen
Memories of you fade quickly
As a new year brings promise
Of much brighter tomorrows

There was an aura about her
When she sat before the keys
Her melodies spoke of angels
With each note, she’d appease
Porcelain fingers over ivory bars
Reminded me, always, that she had come far
A light in the darkness, she brought me much joy
Quietly I would listen, and never annoy
But one day the piano laid silent and still
No longer was the music being played with her skill
What I found in her place, was a single red rose
Her goodbye to me, just her way, I suppose
Yet her song forever lingered, sweetly, in my mind
For she was my music, so lyrical, and refined

Whilst I sit upon this empty bench
My thoughts return to you
I can’t imagine why you left
I don’t know what to do
I can wile away the time of day
Pretend you’re here with me
Oh, how my heart has turned to gray
What made us disagree?
Alas, twas me, who chased you away
Each night, we spent, together
I tried to say goodbye, my love
But you were already gone, forever

The sun sets fire, to the night
As moon no longer, holds its flight
Sinking deeply, in ocean’s waves
The sky, now blackened, darkness caves
For we, no longer, will see him shine
Drowned beneath the water’s brine
So, we hang our heads, as we say goodbye
And mourn, the darkness of the sky
