This isn’t goodbye
…unless you really want it to be.
I could read each word
I could count each line
But I’ve got a feeling that none of that would ease my mind.
Ive spent the last year writing it out
On paper
On a keyboard
On my phone
But this end feels like a sword
Through the chest.
These words and names dont mean much
until you read between the lines
Try to imagine their eyes
Look for the spaces between their lies
If all we write is some form of poetry
I hope you’re willing to show to me
What it is that we’re hiding from
What it is that you are
Where it was that you fell
I know you mean well
And so do i
But if i read one more “goodbye”…
This isn’t goodbye
Though it feels like it may be
This isn’t goodbye
And though that might sound crazy,
This isn’t goodbye,
because i wont leave these words behind.
To say adieu
Is probably smart to do
To let them know that you wont be back
To show that its time for you to pack
To bid farewell
Is sure, good, and swell
But where will you go?
Should I ask?
Should I know?
And what if I’m not ready for you to go?
Our time was taken, robbed, mistaken
And i guess,
i just want you to know that…
This isn’t goodbye
This isn’t adieu
This isn’t farewell
Because I’ll remember you.

I would say goodbye but apparently it’s not. Great poem.
