Vigil
If you go that way,
I will have to say goodbye.
I can’t follow you there,
or even be with you.
Oh, I will watch...
with my heart in my throat.
I will watch...
with no words to say.
I will wonder what could have been,
as you go down that path...
away.
I will watch...
until the tears blind,
until I can’t cry anymore.
I will watch...
as you walk away
with every choice you make.
Where will it end?
I fear it will be far away.
Far away from here...
Far away from me.
