Goodbye

My heart is more than just broken. There were so many words unspoken. Nothing seems to matter as much, things feel so cold to the touch. The color that I see is a dismal gray. There is no light, in the darkness I stay. Life's sounds fall silent, not a peep. The fog that I am in is so very deep. I look around my once familiar home, it feels different, not my own. My days are long, not enough to do. My mind drifts to thoughts of you. The emptiness that I so deeply feel, has hit so suddenly, not sure if it's real. Now here without you,I can only grieve, my mind doesn't want to believe. But I know that I have to accept that you are gone. I must or I will never move on. Finally I am ready to say goodbye. This time, I will not cry. For I have cried too many tears, trying to wash away my fears. I need strength to somehow get through, the fear of living my life without you. I would pray but it is much too late. This has been a cruel twist of fate. So as your soul flies high above, you take with you, all of my love.

It's so hard to say good-bye but we have to move on. I feel your emotions on so many levels. I don't know if you wrote this about someone you personally lost, but if you did, they are reading this in heaven...God Bless...beautiful write Sandra...Hugs // Charlie

Thank you, Charlie, glad to hear from you. It was written for the many losses that we have to endure through our lives. It seems to be a series of life's goodbyes, as you said, so hard. I like to think that it is being read in heaven, from me, with love. Take care, Charlie

Thank you, knowing that others can relate to the feelings expressed by the writer, but to also experience as their own is so gratifying, thank you for that, Heidi.

Thank you, John for your encouraging and heartfelf words. Good words to start the day. This was one poem, that expressed the loss of so many and so much. Saying goodbye, in all situations is so painful. But we continue on, the best that we can. May your life always have a ray of sunshine. Sandy
