Goodbye

How do we say goodbye
When the sun goes down
And the crickets sing
How am I to let you go
When losing you is part of me
And my bones can’t bear the cold
What am I to do alone
When my soul is naked
Since you took all my best parts
Who am I to cling to
If I can’t face the shadows
And our ghost haunts me in the dark
Show me how to live without love
If you are to leave at least tell me how
So I can talk myself into surviving
