"Good-bye"

You were always at my side
But now you're gone
Fading away like yesterday's dream.
I thought you the star in my life
But even stars have their end
The brightest stars leave the darkest void.

You were supposed to be my forever
My everlasting dream
Slowly the darkness engulfed us
And we drifted apart in the nothingness.

I thought your image etched into my memory
But images distort and crack
Leaving nothing but dusty shadows.
Your voice still whispered in my ear
But echoes eventually die
Becoming silence once more.

I really like some of the images in the poem but as per usual, I think they were poorly expressed.
Also, I think goodbye is most commonly spelt (spelled?) unhyphenated but for whatever reason I chose to hyphenate it when I first wrote this poem; I decided to leave it as is.

On a side note, I think I'll leave this blog private for the time being, until I reach some of the more recent poems.
