Tears are not the way for us to say goodbye...A villenelle

His face misted in the fog of tears in my eyes

This was the final moment of our last kiss.

But tears are not the way for us to say goodbye

He looked at me with love as I sighed

Embracing me much too close my face in his.

His face misted in the fog of tears in my eyes.

I would not let him see me cry

To know how much my heart will miss

But tears are not the way for us to say goodbye

He had to let me go he could  never live a lie.

No more his arms to bring me bliss.

His face misted in the fog of tears in my eyes.

Don't leave me please just one more try

But the words were silenced by a farewell kiss

But tears are  not the way for us to say goodbye.

I turned and walked away I would rather die

My heart fading at all the love I would miss

His face misted in the fog of tears in my eyes

But. tears are  not the way for us to say goodbye
