Akkina Downing Poet Light Verse

No Goodbye Was Said

No goodbye was said 

Vanishing from the eyes of lovers

No trail left a hint of where

No clue hidden to unlock why 

Just gone unbeknownst 

Blue tears escaping to their unknown fate 

Aching hearts swell with love for you

Where might you be 

Let be known you are missed

Did you know 

No goodbye was said



       Smile
