I Never Said Goodbye

by Amanda Jane Smith
(Brighouse, West Yorkshire UK)

I won't forget that dark evening,
When somebody close was leaving.
This to me had no meaning,
It broke my heart and left me grieving.

My brother left me that night,
So quick and fast nothing seemed right.
He went on a journey and followed the light,
That night I didn't like.

So everyday when I pray,
Not really knowing what to say.
My broken heart and the tears I cry,
And I never had time to say goodbye.
