Good-bye

Good-bye
© N Noël Jan 2010



Walked away with my head held high
Told myself over and over not gonna cry
Holding in tears no one could see
That’s the day you stopped seeing me

No explanation or words entertained
Just showers of sorrow pouring like rain
Heart left full ready to burst from one word whispered
Good-bye
Soul carried out in a hearse

Gone were the times when sun shined through
Shadows of memories from so long ago
Confusion compiled with questions and mistakes
Love, friendship and the truth all misplaced
Good-bye

No making sense of all the pain
Numb each emotion start again
Reliving each moment when “It” fell apart
Trying to uncoil the story from the end back to start
Good-bye
Still the same, empty, broken attached with shame
Good-bye
Tears falling running from blame

No concessions, last smiles or amends
Doors slammed on a heart once a friend
Good-bye
Back turned, strong stride, you walking away
Gone, along with time unexplained
Good-bye

Sheets of tears, worries, memories and pain
Holding it together because “self” is to gain
Good-bye
Mind cleared with new breath, breathe in
Good-byes lead to new and joyful things

New day deserves a new start
Good-bye
Two small words lead to a Free Heart
Good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye
No more hurt, No need to cry
This is the last Good-bye
