Simple Word

A simple word –
Softly spoken,
Stilled my heart
Left me broken

A single breath –
Such destruction,
Instant death
One deduction

Goodbye.

Special moments like this one, usually are meant to be for a reason. There's usually a lesson to learned. Thanks for sharing this meaningful poem, Danny. This is my first visit, but I'll be back; I'm following your poetry now. A poet in Texas, Bill

It is. But it can also be for the best, if its not meant to be then its not meant to be.
