Life's Goodbyes
I survived each and every goodbye,
that life has brought to me.
Some a relief, some I could only cry.
Through the tears, I couldn't see.
I have made decisions to walk away.
Feeling there was no other choice.
Deciding whether to go or stay,
I struggled to find my voice.
There are those that have said goodbye,
causing the pain in my heart.
I never learned the reason why,
they had to tear my life apart.
Goodbye can mean many things.
It can be casual or very intense.
Never knowing what emotion it brings.
I tried to hold on to some common sense.
Goodbye brings something to an end.
No matter who closes the door.
It can be the loss of love or a friend.
Whatever it was, it is no more.
