She says goodbye, in a whisper

Hush, dear one, forget the picture

Reality is nothing but a dream

Blazing fire is now a slight gleam

Her fingertips touch the edge of the mirror

She thinks with pain, what of after?

Parting from her soul and mind

The view from here she sees is blind

The loss stretches on for miles

Does she ever so softly smile

In that way of hers, as if bidding farewell

Her elegant innocence casting a spell

She says goodbye, lulling the world to sleep

Wake up to another day, with memories buried deep beneath

Bid life farewell and enter the dream

To wake up in a river, flowing away, downstream…
