I sit upon the rocks at the shore's edge, Thinking of the letter you sent today, Sharing with me in the form of farewell, Just words on paper, you've gone away. I watch the sun sinking in yon horizon, As it slowly moves from my sight, The hope and dreams we've shared, Have suddenly gone, forever taking flight. I watch the last rays of the sun disappear, Darkness penetrates the evening view, My heart is shattered nothing left intact, How will I live tomorrow without you? What caused the last rays of the sun, To set upon a love nurtured and true, Was love a game that's now grown old, Receding from your heart, biding adieu? Why leave without so much as a goodbye, Only paper with words coldly written, Callous and with feelings null and void, Sweeping away a lifetime of commitment. I reread the words of deafening silence, Searing and final, hurtful actions done, You have gone away taking my heart, Love vanished with the last rays of the sun.
