The days come and go without you,
Dark and angry are my ways,
I don’t see the light of day now,
Just goodbye beckons my days.

You blew through my life like a wind,
Abruptly you were taken,
To live on always yet leaving,
Just goodbye, just forsaken.

Without you is such a black rose,
Not much life, I’ve no only,
No heart to bloom a love’s beauty,
Just goodbye, it’s so lonely.

Gloom and wretchedness consume me,
The rains soak of tears of cold,
Showers of lost hope down their song,
Just goodbye with screams I hold.

Without you here I’ve lost my way,
An anger waves ugly so,
The days brandish in black despair,
Just goodbye, why did you go?
