So Far, So Long, Goodbye

She reaches, she struggles
She wants to grasp our hands
She wanted to touch flesh to flesh
Fingertip to fingertip
Her eyes were wide
Emotions filling them
She wanted to grasp our hands
She wanted us to save her
She stretches, she tried so hard
Her heart seemed to burst
And her limbs begin to shake
Her chest rises and falls
With deep, gasping breaths
Her mouth opens
Yet no sound comes out
She wishes to beg
She wishes to scream
She wishes to gain our attention
So we may help her
She wishes so hard
For us to help her
But we cannot help her
We cannot take her hands
No matter how hard it may be
To see her pained eyes
She falls, so far, so long
Down to the ground
We had to look away
So far, so long, goodbye dear child
We turned away
And we leave her behind
A fallen beauty
A fallen angel
So far, so long, goodbye
Sweet goddess
We leave you to your grave
We turn away
We yearn to help you
We wished to save you
We wished to save you
Sweet child
Our fallen child
Our fallen angel
Sweet goddess
We leave you here
In your temple
We had to turn away
So far, so long, goodbye
Our lost innocent
We cannot save you
We could not save you
Our lost innocent
For you were our enemy
So far, so long, goodbye
Our fallen foe
