I hate good-byes.
There is nothing good
in them.
They are too permanent.
Ominous par excellence.
I said good-bye
to a friend once,
never saw him twice.
No, there is nothing good
in a good-bye.
I favour
farewell.
She said she was working most the night
As she kissed my lips and said goodnight.
She walked away and locked the door...
Moments later that fatal roar.
I ran outside and bowed my head,
For in the road she lay there dead.
I had lost the meaning of my life
The night the Lord had taken my wife.
This will be my last goodbye
As tears are filling up my eyes.
Now I lay my head to nest
And say goodbye like all the rest.
I'm sorry I left this way....
I feel strongly
death is never goodbye
I’ll see you later
I owe you an apology I thought I hated you for leaving me behind.
but the truth is I hate myself for falling for you.
I didn't realize that I what I was doing was considered harassment.
I'm sorry that I got a little to attached to you.
I'm am truly sorry I never ment for things to go as far as they did.
now I see you in my dreams you ask me what kind of dreams.
I tell you some are the same and others are normal.
the truth is the dreams with you in them is something we never had true love.
I've seen what could of been and tried to warp that into reality
but it was just a dream that wont come true and I see that now
I'm sorry if you ever felt peer pressured into anything
we agreed to go our different way just know I wish you the best of luck
is crazy to think we got this far
you could of reported me for harassment but you didn't
you say you call me dork as a sing that you care
if you care then why cant we just be friends?
I'm trying to see it though your eyes and perspective but i cant
I'm letting go without letting go
so good bye till we meet again Ed
Peace deals seem to give Trump a good-bye kiss--
To self-proclaimed messiah of world peace
Who thinks he’s King Canute
Who held waves, made them mute,
Peace, no real estate deal,
Nor Trump, one-for-all pill,
A shot in dark is more likely to miss.

Note: Trump’s peace deals that come apart seem to suffer from a Humpty-Dumpty Syndrome. And he does not know how to put Humpty-Dumpty back together. Russia-Ukraine peace deal is nowhere. Thailand and Cambodia are fighting back again. So are Congo and Rwanda, whilst Gaza peace plan seems in limbo. And the only one that works is Indo-Pak that Trump has nothing to do with! Yet, the Nobel Peace Prize, ah what a lollypop!

The silence, filled with whispers of turbulence
Crashed against the tide of an ephemeral moment
Perhaps fate has a strange way of entwining chaos
And we're meant to tie its loose ends with muddy hands
The affinity to tangle even the simplest ties
Is perhaps what's most befuddling
Yet I stand here
Pondering on this connection-
With our fitted glances and stolen good-byes
Could it have been any different?
I remember our love,
from days of old.
The days and nights,
we spent by the shore.
The days we laughed,
the nights we loved.
I thought it would last,
last a life time.
Guess nothing lasts forever,
not even when deeply in love.
Somehow you said good-bye,
somehow I died inside.
Now all I can hear,
are the echoes of the silent shore.
Do
not put
me in a
box where I can't
be seen. I will not
hide anymore, I must
be set free to fly. Do not
put me in a box, where I can
not breath. Yes I need fresh air to breath,
friendships suck the air out of the air. No!
No!
life here
for us now,
I need to move
far away from you.
No more hurting for me,
your words hurt. Your silence is
wrong, my life will be very fun
filled with joy and happiness with you
not in it. I am now saying good-bye.
Good night.
After 45 x 365 nights, I just realised.
They were only my dreams.
They lasted so long I do not remember what they meant.
Whatever they were, they have gone forever.
I do not want them to come back and give me heartache.
I either we took it or left it.
There was no but about it.
Why did not you lightly make the promises,
And cruelly you decided to break it.
A, I did not have time to talk to you about my ill fate.
It seems nice but I think it is a curse for me this year.
It has been 5 years since you were gone,
Although I do not feel missing you as I used to,
But it did not mean I love you any less.
I am upset that I did not love you as much as I should.
I suppose, one only learns how much one was lucky until one lost it.
I took for granted you would always love me
And I would be loved and cared forever.
Would you bless me to have wisdom,
Energy, time and love for my sons.
Whom you also loved as your grand children.
Even when you never have a chance to meet them.
I was grateful for your kindness, respect and
Treated me differently to the rest of the women in your life.
No longer a witness,
though not by choice
I still hear your smile
In your exuberant voice
Memories in my mind's eye
Bring it all back again
Can you still hear me cry
No I never spoke words untrue
When I said, I'd die for you.
Cause I never, ever lied
When I swore, when I swore
I'd love you till I died.
You broke my heart,
my body and soul
I was bound up with you,
you made me whole
Now, those ties that bind
Are cut away,
so I drift alone in pain
No I never spoke words untrue
When I said, I'd die for you.
Cause I never, ever lied
When I swore, when I swore
I'd love you till I died.
So baby, when you hear
I've gone away, don't shed a tear
And baby, when you realize
I was true, until the day I died
Maybe regret will fill your heart
It's too late now we're apart
No I never spoke words untrue
When I said, I'd die for you.
Cause I never, ever lied
When I swore, when I swore
I'd love you till I died.
Yea this is good bye
And I loved you, I loved you,
I Loved You till I died.
When dealing with a love-sick fool
One must be strict and must be strong
And follow this one simple rule
Don't let them be a hanger-on
One must be strict and must be strong
To bring such foolishness to end
And a new love then to begin
And follow this one simple rule
Say, "no", I know it's hard to do
But all else just would not be true
Don't let them be a hanger-on
You must just say a quick good-bye
No matter how I beg or cry
What good are good byes
When in the end someone always cries
Here today gone tomorrow
Lost in sorrow
Cannot stay
Going home today
Just my way
To leave without a word
Good-byes, just too painful to be heard
Emotions stirred
Hidden behind a brick wall
A silent tear starts to fall
A gift from above
A heart full of love
Gone so fast
Why can't dreams ever last
Such is the past
Starting from the womb
The silence of a tomb
The nothing ringing so loud
Hiding from the crowd
Standing in plain sight
Bring forth the light
Invisible for all to see
The pain of being free
How sad that can be
Hope for a better tomorrow
Maybe in that land of no sorrow
The darkness starts to cry
I don't know why
I wish just to fly
Beyond the pain
The stain
Someday
Someway
Time will be on my side
No need to hide
Wish you could see
That which is me
Just might set me free
Was another sister to me.
Remembering times that used to be.
You were kind
So many memories come to mind
You always seemed to care
Hard to believe you will no longer be there
To be fair
I think an angel departed
I am broken hearted
Memories that make me smile
You had such style
I always saw your halo
The compassion you would show
In our hearts you did grow
I know
Life will never be the same
A star now has your name
A lot of people loved you
So true
Good bye sister of mine
Your star will forever shine
