Goodbye
I hate this word
I'll tell you why
This word I hate
Is the word goodbye
The truth is
I must admit
I never get the
Chance to say it
Especially people who
Are important to me
They tend to leave
They seem to die you see
Three years ago my dad
Had to die
I never said thank you
Or the chance to say goodbye
Then last year mum visited
For two weeks she came to stay
One day in November
She too suddenly passed away
In February this year my wife
Said she can’t stand me I must leave
I was shocked, no sign of this coming
I was left numbed in disbelief
If I tell you the rest it will make you cry
However, from this now you know the reason why
I hate this word, the word goodbye
