How do you say good-bye to somebody

When they are already gone

Ripped out of your hands

A life that you held very dear

A life that meant more to you than most

Why does God put you through this pain

That hurts much more

Than a piercing knife

Pain that buries itself in the heart

Staying for an eternity

Every time a touch grips you

Every time a smell reminds you

Every time a sight haunts you

The pain grows until it consumes

Your whole heart

Tell me again how do you say good-bye

When they are already gone
