Writings By Me

Why is it called goodbye

I find nothing good about it

It’s painful

It hurts

No matter the reason

No matter the being

Saying goodbye is final

I’m in despair, unwilling, unprepared

I’m hopelessly waiting a return

I know will never come

Why call it goodbye

Saying it brings tears

Falling wastefully from my eyes

The swelling hurts

It looks even worse

I can’t explain what I am feeling

All I know is that

A goodbye without a next hello

Feels like a deep and heavy hole
