Denouement (A Final Farewell)

I always knew the day would come

When I buried you at last

Because you can’t find new horizons

When you’re anchored to the past

The pain I felt from losing you

Left an emptiness inside

But instead of moving forward

I sought a place to hide

And all these years inside my walls

Spent too afraid to feel

Were wasted opportunities

A chance for something real

Friends and lovers slipped away

As life just passed me by

I lost the joys I might have shared

By learning not to try

For mountain tops mean nothing

Without the valleys low

And hiding in the shadows

Took away all I might know

So, now I’m at this precipice

A time to turn the page

And let you live in memories

That fade with passing age

Now, you are gone but I remain

The time has passed for tears

As I sail for new horizons

And overcome these fears
