Faded and Frayed

When  the tall dark hours of the morning
stand bold on the face of the clock
and sleep is just an ugly thought
as the sound of your "goodbye"
replays relentlessly thru my mind
........taunting my soul
...filling me with a thick despair
while the ache in my heart
drives me to my knees
I weep and grieve for my loss of you

while time will blunt the sharp edges
of this agony that now shreds my soul

and  the soft memories of you
will fade and fray at the edges

but I will always remember
the diminishing sound of the shadows
of your footsteps as you walked away
.....as they said "goodbye"
with every step you took
