Goodbye My Lover, My Friend

Sweet memories bring me sighs

So many tears from our many goodbyes

Hey!!!!!!!! Those days life was new

Your ginger laughter filled the room

I feel the grief of our childhood

I curl beneath myself and sob

A cherry rope swings between the tree

Of summer nights on the beach

When the wind moaned up the hill

And you’d take me in your arms

And hand me such a big kiss

The sweet hugs meant just for me

Now we’re parting, leaving these walls

Where our laughs and tears forms the beats

The glitter of our many dreams spill and hunt these walls

So caged they refuse to fly away

It’d be a felony if the memoirs swayed

I bubble in the corners of your head

Ray dots that never change with time

So many promises I keep on hold

And as I say my last goodbye

And looking at the smiling sky

I know one day that all this sorrow

Will peel off before those teary eyes

That day we shall mend the past

Because it has always been a patent

You belong to my heart

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."
