This is more than a goodbye
more than a placeholder, or
a to be continued, this is a farewell
to everything both good and bad
This is all my fears, every last tear
placed on a platter, and I am forced to consume them
one by one, until I'm reminded
that nothing good lasts forever and everybody leaves
This is more than a death, more than a
resurrection, I know now the loneliness
Jesus felt in that tomb, but this emptiness I feel
is going to last a lot longer than 3 days
I will rise, slowly, dusting off
the remnants of a less-than heart
never to be the same again
too many tears have been shed, but
I'll see you next lifetime

I'll always find you, and you me

a song she used to play for me at the beginning of this rollercoaster
