Leaving

I say to the sun
as it runs me by
if it will stay
to say goodbye.
'Oh no, I never do.
Because I am a flame
And I ride by round and round
blazing through the stars
You see me
when you're eyes
are open
looking for a ride
to the skies.'
So I said yes.
I see you coming; I see you going
I will be there
at the neck of the next wind,
and follow the flame
of your ruthless eyes
but for now,
I will say it for you
Good Bye.
