Good Bye

GOOD BYE

She slowly walked away,
Turning at the open door.
“Good bye” she whispered and said,
While looking at the bare floor.

The door opening framed her figure,
As she whispered those two words.
Hands together and looking down,
As if praying to the Lord.

Slowly the frame grew bigger and bigger,
But her figure remained the same.
Then there was no frame, there was no wall,
Just your figure for me to call.

There was no cooking, there were no fights,
There were no children to throw the ball.
There was no house, there was no pain,
Just your figure for me to call.

No more thoughts of love and happiness,
No more tears will ever fall.
She quickly turned and walked away,
But I wasn’t there for me to call.

Luis, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
