"A Goodbye"

Though I hope it's remembered
How much I have loved my friends,
My time is soon coming,
I can see my own end.

Being here has been great,
But soon I must go.
It's almost time I left
And paid poor Charon's toll.

And if it's asked of that day
For whom the church bells tolled.
I hope it's said, "'twas Hearts,
Who had one of gold.

She often heard of love,
But she knew only angst.
Tho for the friendships she had
She always tried to show thanks."

My gold heart has tarnished
It's no longer shiney and clean.
I hope that an unawakened sleep
Will allow me an unending dream.

For I'm always too good a friend
To ever be seen as a lover;
And each interest I have,
I get to watch with another.
