How Do We Say Goodbye (for RAA)

[innerconfession]

What do you say to someone
who needs to have a peace of mind
someone who might be going
and leaving it all behind

How do you tell that person
that things will be all right
when possibly tomorrow
they'll be sleeping alone at night

Do you say that you're sorry
and hope that does the trick
or try and make it all a joke
without being a prick

What about the special bond
that took so long to make
how do you act like it's ok
without appearing fake

How do you comfort this person
when you know what's possibly coming
can you make them sit and talk to you
when they really just feel like running

I'm afraid, yes, I'm scared
that things won't be the same
but I'm even more frightened
that you'll soon forget my name

It took a while to know you
to get inside your head
I'd hate to be thinking of you
while you're wasting away on a bed

You will not get to see her
nor will you see me
I really hate the thought
that you might not be free

The confinment is not alright
and the pain will hurt a lot
I just hope that you remember
your enemy we are not
