This pain is so intense
I never thought I would have to bear
This enormous feeling of emptiness
knowing you are no longer there

I try to ignore the dead silence
That endlessly screams your name
But my efforts to shut it out
Is just a painful silly game

Your time with me has expired
Our journey has come to a close
To think you would be here forever
Was just selfish of me I suppose

But now I must accept
And face the painful fact
That the knowledge of our fate
Is never really exact

So now I must face my fear
And say my final goodbye
Continue to be strong
And pretend not to cry

I know you are safe
And not suffering anymore
As you step across the threshold
Of heavens golden front door
