Echoes of Goodbye

Late night, thoughts linger on,

Heart heavy like a faded song,

She gave all, they tore it down,

In this workplace, lost in sound.

The door closed, a ghost in the halls,

Her laughter echoes, now silence falls,

Two managers, they said we’d be fine,

But this loss feels like a grand decline.

Filling in the gaps she used to fill,

Every task now feels like a bitter pill,

She had kids waiting at home for her light,

While they’re counting coins, they’re losing sight.

All the late nights she sacrificed,

Stood as a tower, never thought twice,

Now it’s shadows creeping on my desk,

She gave us strength, and now I'm left vexed.

How do I carry on without her here?

Lost in a place that used to feel clear,

Oh, she had pride, she had dedication,

Now I’m holding on to half a foundation.

Remember the laughter, just last week,

Now it’s cold, the future feels bleak,

They’re so blind to the hearts they break,

Profits over people, they’re making mistakes.

Each report feels like a heavy chain,

I’m struggling with this daunting pain,

She believed in us, believed in the team,

Now I’m solo, no more shared dreams.

I hope she’s alright, wherever she goes,

In this world, only kindness shows,

Maybe someday, the tides will turn,

For every part of her, we still yearn.

How do I carry on without her here?

Lost in a place that used to feel clear,

Oh, she had pride, she had dedication,

Now I’m holding on to half a foundation.

If I could reach out, say my goodbye,

Tell her she’s missed under the same sky,

But in this maze, there’s no way out,

Just work and whispers, a silent shout.

So here’s to you, where you wanted to be,

With dreams that uplift and set you free,

We’ll keep your spirit alive in these walls,

In our memories, your laughter calls.
