It's So Hard To Say Goodbye

Holding on to the memories
that never fades away.
On that dreadful day,
It never crossed
my mind that this
would be our last
conversation and
the ending of yours.

So many unanswered
questions has left
me in a state of depression,
confusion, and incomprehension.
How could you
leave me in all
this pain, knowing I
will never see
you again in this life form.

It is said, as time goes on
it gets better but does it?
It's a never ending
nightmare of pain
that keeps playing
over and over again.

Staring at your picture,
saying to myself this is unreal.
How could you leave me
without saying goodbye?

I look for you
hoping that I see
you again.
I know you are here
but the appearance
of you is gone.
Sometimes I stop
and stare because
I thought I seen you,
but it's just another
image that looks
identical to you.

I know I must let
you go but as the days
go by it gets harder and harder
but with a deeper understanding,
and a deeper acceptance,
I shall regain my strength back.
