Saying Goodbye to a Web of Deception**

When did it become so effortless for him to weave his lies? Was it after their first anniversary, when the glow of their love began to fade? He meticulously plotted his betrayals, crafted intricate plans, and willingly cheated, transforming himself into a mastermind of deceit. Meanwhile, she wore her

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

An Assault On All That Is Sacred And Beautiful 
Standing by the canyon rim
The couple embrace
“How beautiful, still”
Are their last words 
*
Two old men
With tears in their eyes
Look out over the canyon
Kicking the dirt hard
*
A boy holds tight 
His father's hand
As they watch 
The flight of an eagle
*
A girl with 
Arm around
Her mother's waist
Reads the

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

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 MemberSaying 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 MemberSaying 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
