Silent Departure

My tears, like rain, are falling down
Within my heart, the thunder sounds
and lightnings flash within my mind
reminding of another time.
I looked at you but didn't see
your desperation or degree
of suffering and agony
silence in your destiny.
I didn't know you'd soon be gone
to frolic in another song
It caught me by surprise, and so
I weep; my bitter tears still flow.
Just want to touch again your face
your sable coat - and embrace
to comfort you as you depart
Alas, you're gone, and we're apart.
