Three Words

Goodbye, my love,
Is what I’d say,

As darkness comes

Unto the day. 


And so I must leave,

With arms closed so tight. 

For embracing another,

I couldn’t do right. 


The ballad fades,

And the sonnet is muted. 

These next lonely nights,

I shall spend secluded.


Until you come again,

My dear, 

Those three words,

Will forever ring in my ear.
