The End?

by Brownell Landrum

When is the right time to say goodbye?
When the pain is fresh and tears in your eye?
When you’ve lost all hope and too tired to cry?
When is the right time to say goodbye?

What moment is best to say farewell?
When the only path forward is the one to hell?
When there’s nothing left of your soul to sell?
What moment is best to say farewell?

How do you know when to walk away?
When there’s nothing left for you to say?
When she won’t leave and he can’t stay?
How do you know when to walk away?

These are the questions we ask ourselves
To determine if it’s the end
When someone you once loved
Is no longer a friend

Those unwritten love letters
You’ll now never send
When a moment together
Is one you won’t spend
This is how you know
This is the end

What makes you prepared to bid adieu?
When one of you’s ready to find someone new?
When something’s dead that once grew and grew?
What makes you prepared to bid adieu?

How do you know you’re ready to part?
When everything’s empty, including your heart?
When forgiving again you know isn’t smart?
How do you know you’re ready to part?
