LAST GOODBYE

By: Julie Duane

They all are gone and yet I cannot leave,

No au revoir this time, and no reprieve -

Tomorrow, whispered hope of all the past

Forgotten - this goodbye will be the last

Oh but I cannot think how it will be

Never to hear your voice again nor see

Your gladdening smile; no more to touch your lips

I stand here silently; the cold wind whips

My cloak about me; I must go away

The sun has set and ended all my day
