• What is it about the word "goodye"
    that peirces the soul,
    crushes the heart?
    Why does it cause sadness,
    depression,
    and make us hollow?
    It is such a smooth word
    It easily passes the lips,
    yet, the mind tries to resit,
    the soul screams in agony,
    and the air attacks,
    strangles,
    trying to keep that horrble word from escaping
    Is it a sin to say such a small word?
    Does it admit defeat?
    That it is over,
    that the day,
    that life, has reached its end?
    Why is it so easy to say that accursed word,
    but so hard to admit to it?
    Hellos are everyday,
    as every sunrise
    Goodbyes are everyday,
    as every sunset
    We greet each other
    We say are goodbyes'
    and yet
    we do not know the consequences of it
    As we say hello we live,
    as we say goodbye we die
    A final farewell
    A heavy goodbye
    And a broken heart
    Should we be afriad of a word,
    that proves that will continue,
    that we will remember,
    that we will live on
    Does goodbye hurt because we are letting them go?
    That we greet another day without them
    To continue walking down the long road of life,
    with freinds,
    family,
    while they die alone
    To allow ourselves to recognize their depature
    Does it hurt because, we will never say hello,
    until our own goodbye
    We part at one death,
    and rejoin at our own,
    while others mourn at our leave
    They are left to continue theit hellos,
    their goodbyes
    While our spirits are free,
    no longer having to say that accursed word
