Fare thee well is not goodbye
By RibbonHeart
The ego comes to haunt the days of the child underpinned on my dress,
Another day passes over and the seconds never rest.
Fare thee well
is not goodbye, my love
A tear shall not be shed,
For the sun
will rise tomorrow and my sheep will then be led.
Twisting snarls,
a rictus dream of shadows on the wall,
And this is where they screamed
obscene, yes, this is where they fall.
Fare thee well is not goodbye,
my love
Your tears will overflow
But I will follow distant hopes
of a new love to be sewn.
Chaos runs within the veins of cultures
born and bred,
And while the young ones starve to death the rich ones
shall be fed.
Fare thee well is not goodbye, my love
And greed
is not in womb,
A new hope rises from the ash of this cold, old, bitter
tomb.

Really liking this format and the freedom of the unrhymed middle line of each stanza. Good wrap-up and much enjoyed, thanks!
