Another Shot At Good Bye

The time has come, that day we fear 
The end or the beginning presented right here 
With my man by my side and my girl in my heart 
It’s time to choose with whom I shall part 

I think of you all as I replay the past 
It’s hard to believe, 4 years gone so fast 
One by one, I laugh and I cry 
You each made your mark but only when high 

The days we were sober we spent all alone 
We never hung out, rarely talked on the phone 
But in comes that text and it happens once more 
Again I have friends, as they line up at my door 

So here’s my big plan, listen up so you know 
The start of my new life, true colors you will show 
Don’t call me for dope or all you’ll hear is a click 
I’ll go to my list, find your name, place a tick 

So I’m saying good bye and I’m walking away 
Missing you all but in my heart you will stay 
Please don’t forget who you are deep inside 
It's then you can feel safe and not have to hide

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

For whatever reasons, sometimes we need to say good bye. Always an emotional thing to do.
