Harder Than Saying Goodbye
I picked up my phone, There was a message from you, When I read it, My heart fell to the floor. Your parents don’t like me, And they want to keep us apart, Yet somehow you still love me, And I have no idea why. Goodbyes aren’t forever, They just mean “see you later”, You told me you’ll come back to me, And I know you...

Saying Goodbye to a Former Friend
After a long time, I have finally felt the need to let you go! It was rather hard to see you after so many years! You claimed that you fell in love with me! Well, your chances were used up! When we were in high school you rejected me for the prom! When my family had a birthday dinner for...

Saying Goodbye to My Dog
It wasn’t supposed to happen this way. Yesterday she was running and playing. Today she is lying on her right side, head resting motionless on the quilt she loved and destroyed as a playful pup. Her tail wags as I enter the room. Her left eye following my every move. I try to calm her fears and confusion, stroking her...

("Simple Mind", 2011, original acrylic) For Bill A day spent with you actively dying Or rather in this case rapidly fading away Almost ten decades weighing heavy On all our hearts Only to have you rally Just as I’m leaving for home To lonely dogs and my own bed So we part on a lucid note And Carol decides to stay Something in your...

Premium Member Saying Goodbye
Saying Goodbye I am bad about saying goodbye. I hate doing it. I don't want to do that, at all, ever! It makes my heart heavy, my legs get stiff, and my arms hang at my sides... empty... waiting. But for what? I don't even know. I just, finally wave... and you go. Saying hello is better. Saying...

Saying Goodbye
Author Dana Redricks April 13, 2023 I'm saying goodbye, my dear, it's time to part, also farewell and let you depart. Though our paths may lead us far apart, you'll always have a place within my heart. The memories we have shared will last a lifetime, the laughter and tears, the love and the strife. We will cherish...

Premium Member Saying Goodbye
Each day at twilight, it seems to be so quiet Maybe the sun wants to leave some silence behind A peaceful time to cherish at the end of the day The air is also still as if the descending sun slows time To clear the mind, no rushing , no chaos Often no wind at all to stir things around...

Premium Member Saying Goodbye
My last night in a home that befriended me Confusing thoughts, leaving so many memories Childhood into teenage years It held me safe and warm Always comforting, now times are sad Standing in my bedroom saying farewells Making speeches to invisible friends I now visit each room in turn Opening doors and saying goodbyes Some I enter, just to say hi Some tears form,...

Saying Goodbye
Saying Goodbye I've lived my life romanced a wife I've walked and talked for miles So when my last breath does come I hope to leave with smiles. Please don't be sad once I am gone My time has come to part I'll never leave you so alone You'll always be in my heart I'll meet you once...

Before Saying Goodbye
Before saying goodbye, to this one life I wish to live it, fully alive! No grudges in mind, hard feelings in heart This is the way, I wish to survive I want to realise all the wisdom, I wish to acquire absolute freedom, Bonds of all kinds and each thing that binds, I will break it, I won't let it thrive...
