Final goodbye

by Alanis   Jul 7, 2013


Why do tears run down your face like abrupt rivers?
Why does pain coat your face like a mask of misery?
Alas, this isn't the end. Our hearts beat in sync as the
Goodbyes bring tears to our misguided eyes, glances
Exchange as the house is an echo from our past.
The memories the homestead holds. I watch as our
Shadows retrace the memories, my sorrow-filled scream
Grows louder. What is left for me here? I cower from
Society, beging for your presence. The excursions we had
Yet to share. I break down, my life is nothingness, the remains
Of an euphoria. I say go make a future for yourself, but my
Selfish heart screams no. We are right where we started,
The images flash through my head, immense pain overtakes
My exsistance. I watch you walk out, close the door behind you,
I'm left basking in the memories that bring me to my knees. I close my eyes and let the tears fall freely as you become a distant memory.

    When we lose someone it is very hard to deal with. It seems here that they left you for no reason. It is haunting the memorirs you have good or bad. It's hard to deal with and the heart becomes so torn you can do nothing but cry. The emotions left in this poem are great. Though it is very sad to see such heartbreak inside a poem. It doesn't always feel like goodbye because it is so hard to say it. As I said memories make you feel like the person is still there with you. I love how there is only one location with this. The house you lived in it seems. You both were married or dating and this person walks out on you. Sometimes it is better to start over and move away from the bad memories or even real life. You will heal in time. Great write 5/5
