Echoes of Goodbye
He watched her leave that autumn day
Yet he seemed to not know why
His boozing should have given it away
All he heard next were echoes of her goodbye
Years later he thought of that moment
Now he wished she had not left
A moment that replayed to his discontent
He felt loss, emotionally bereft
He became a prisoner of lost love
Trapped behind the hands of time
A moment he often thought of
Still hearing the echoes of her goodbye chime
