The Heartache of Farewell

The heartache of farewell Comes in layers and degrees of torment and suffering Some good and Bad, some may say it is all good in the end But regardless of platitudes and positive thinking after reflection at the end The pain is real and the consequences of the choices made Of whether to say goodbye or to stay Doesn’t matter, doesn’t go away, doesn’t heal in some ways As a farewell of a friend you may never see again Or a farewell to a career you loved and can no longer be apart of But of a relationship much deeper between two lovers Who have spent a decade of their prime years choosing to stay together Only for one to decide to part in the end without the other ever see it coming.
