A Goodbye Song

A Goodbye Song How can I say this without hurting you. I truly believe you and I are through. I will not sayI was the perfect one, Though the sadness I feel is etched in stone. Once the sight of you enveloped my heart. Your soft, kind way was so new on my part. The other side, though, I cannot accept I must matter, or it’s a lovely trap. I made a fool of myself, you turned off. Nothing I did elicited a cough. Indifference is worse than overt anger, Protection is to deem you a stranger. Now winter’s wind blows through my empty soul; Only Spring’s new warm growth will make me whole. To your own desires I will let you go. My darling Goodbye, I will miss you so. Should those desires break through your indifference, Don’t look for me, I’ve jumped over that fence.

A very beautiful written poem, you ve to separate by everyone in this world, some die, while others left but the good bye is never a pleasant scene
