I still remember the first time I saw you, How your smile felt so warm and new. I remember the first time we talked, And how my heart raced as we walked. I remember waiting just to see your face, Catching glimpses from a secret place. Staying up all night thinking of you, And waiting all day just to hear from you. I...

A dark cold September Rain falls A man calls But no one can hear No one is near As he lays in the rain He thinks of his last refrain A thought comes to his brain He will never see his family or friends again He takes his last breath And closes his eyes No one hears his last goodbyes...

We said our goodbyes, I wish I could remember it better. I never thought much of it, Never asked questions of it, Never questioned your decision; I never touched the wound again. I looked around emotionless, And saw mom sowing, Her eyes locked on the fabric Not daring to look up. She had asked if we were hungry, But we didn’t answer, I didn’t realize what was...

I said my goodbyes to you that day long ago. I grieved for the loss of someone I loved so. For so many years I journeyed on A path with no beginning or end, Seeking a reason why our journey so soon had to end. What really was the reason you had to go...

Whispers of unspoken goodbyes dance on the strings of my weary heart, Like a heavy shadow, a veil of black silk, wrapping around my wounded soul. My breath catches in my throat, memories flooding like a merciless torrent, And I remain suspended between what was and what could have been. Our parting, an unfinished symphony, a final chord still...

In the shadows, I feel the bonds grow, Attachments so deep, emotions bow Their absence sparks a flame Love and friendship that lasts the same As they depart their echoes remain A harmony of separation pushes the heart in strain The friendships true a love that is so dear In my heart’s chambers, crystal clear The fear of parting, a clouded sight, I trust...

I saw a man leave today he had April in his eyes a hipflask in his pocket as he said his last goodbyes and all the ones he left behind were painting as he went laying down their colours at a life they thought well spent but summers come and summers go and midnight...

Goodbyes Aren’t just When someone passes away. Goodbyes aren’t only When you’re leaving the house. It’s not just goodbye To your mom or your dad. It’s not leaving the house And yelling out the door. It’s more than just A wave at the airport As you watch someone Board the plane. It’s parting with people Who travelled A journey with you. It’s seeing them leave And knowing this is...

A wall divides me from that peace of mind. A peace I hope one day I'll find. But unti then, I stare at the wall and wonder how its fair to break down when it was I who did the hurting. I stare at the wall and I know it was never fair. That's what he called it, what he always said. Like a broken record reminding me it would...

Memories can become blurry, over time, like underdeveloped photographs, or incomplete, like sunlight through blinds. Our lives move ever forward, like the inflexible patterns of stars. Once fevered and immediate events recede, with frightening, doppler effect, as remembered yesterdays, become forgotten yesterdays. New Haven was abuzz. The hotels were booked and moving trucks had taken every free parking space for miles. Last Sunday was...
