Goodbye Forever

by Daniel J   Jun 30, 2005


Now my friend I say goodbye,
I'm leaving here, but please don't sigh,
Upon a plane I'll leave and gone am I,
For me it is this which you must try:
If I don't return, please don't cry.

How long I'll be gone I know not,
But when I return I know I'll be forgot,
So distant will I be in your memory,
To you a stranger shall I be,
So please, don't cry for me.

Though your tears run now I know,
That as the weeks go past,
And a time passes so vast,
You will never remember me,
So don't cry, and let me be.

So if I can't manage to remain un-shot,
Or get blown to pieces with carry-cots,
And tourists and people and what-not,
For it is you know, to a warzone I go,
Don't cry for me, me who you'll hardly know.

But if I come back happily,
All in one piece and stably,
And upon my return I visit you not,
For I am sure that either you or I will be forgot,
Please don't cry.

    I really liked this poem.. i cant pinpoint it, but for some reason it reminds me of a movie or war or somthing. but either way it is still meaningful and sends across a strong message.... i know however, that the one i love, i will never forget nomatter how long we are apart, they will always remain in my heart, and all the memories we shared never forgotten... my favorite part was

    Though your tears run now I know,
    That as the weeks go past,

    Wonderful job with the inverted word order, making the lines rhyme, flowing excellently. Love it.
