Goodbye

Goodbye

A Poem by Dante Balintyne

I just want to say good bye

I am not going to leave this up high

If I leave this down low

It will make this goodbye to slow

I am sick of lying to myself about it

I try not to cry

But that is just another lie

I need a way to get out of this

This shot to the hart has to be a miss

If it is not then this is a life I won’t survive

I need to find a way to stay alive

I know you were just a friend

But this will still hurt till the very end

No matter how many times I tell myself

I still wish I had your picture on my shelf

I just want that last little gain

As a last attempt to ease this burning pain

And still I ask my self why

As I say that one final painful word

Goodbye
