Goodbye to hello

Goodbye is a feast finished The last morsel down the hatch Improper to ask for seconds No aperitif to this lonely hunger For every goodbye must be a hello Even if no one arrives home Welcome your darkness, don't go My mistrusted companion I forgive your cloying reach Can you recreate human touch? Let me be the one to say goodbye Just to feel my forlorn space Selfishly you take all the oxygen Leave the left with a hunger for air There’s no comfort in goodbyes Better to say hello to re-gen Goodbye to time with loved ones Hello my solitary depression Revolution brings me back to light Goodbyes are a global constancy Even without hands that feed Goodbyes consume me with it all A constant depression never satisfied A hunger feeding on memory Say goodbye to hello for now Say goodbye from dusk to dawn Twighlight is the start of a new day Depression coming to hello's light

As much as i dont really like goodbyes, like youv said it feels like goodbyes have become a norm, and is the only constant thing nowadays. You havr a way with expressing in such a beautiful manner that flows with an authentic voice. I felt every word woven in this. Depression, something that is deeper and harder than one can explain: its never easy. Sending you light strong soul! Keep sharing always and inspiring us all

This poignant poem captures the bittersweet essence of farewells and the cyclic nature of life's emotional landscape. The metaphor of "Goodbye is a feast finished" cleverly portrays the departure as a consumable event, implying a completion that may not bring satisfaction. The contrast between the finality of farewell and the unfulfilled hunger for more establishes a sense of longing..
