Sound of a Silent Goodbye

Sound of a Silent Goodbye

A Poem by Sandra Caskey

I am haunted by the silence

Of our last goodbye.

Our final kiss was guidance

For the hardest goodbye I can’t deny.

 

The look in those eyes

Showed how difficult it was for you,

As if you were watching my demise.

I thought I was, too.

 

The sound of the silence

Was more than I could stand.

But I waited through the intangible violence,

Tearing passed the current moment unplanned.

 

I always thought the silence made a sound.

I wasn’t for sure until what happened now.

With the stare we shared, a little hissing became profound.

The thoughts rumbled in rage, which I had to allow.

 

There was pain in my chest.

There was sorrow in my mind.

I could have easily guessed.

Depression was the cause of me being confined.

 

The sound of a silent goodbye

Developed a sad being within me

That will forevermore scream until I die.

My capability of ever stopping it, I can’t foresee.

 

A silent goodbye has an everlasting sound,

A sound only heard to its host.

It constantly has a rebound,

Which will make their host a living ghost.

 

I am haunted by the silence

Of our last goodbye.

Our final kiss was guidance

For the hardest goodbye I can’t deny.

 

The images are painful.

The flashbacks are uncontrollable.

Why is the sound so hateful?

It’s the very definition of damnable.

 

Please, I insist on ending the agony.

I’ll do what needs to done

In order to leave this drowning insanity,

Stopping the images of us and I’ll be gone.

 

In your dark pupils,

I saw my demise.

It was difficult for you as usual,

As you saw the monster in my eyes.

 

Will you help me silent the silence?

There must be possibility…

Please help me have a chance

Of gaining that lost ability.

 

I can’t do this alone.
