The Painful Goodbye

The Painful Goodbye

A Poem by Mbali

Its early morning, a month all gone
i looked at their faces and never knew how
they waited the start, and wondered why
babies this is it, soon i will say goodbye

Its not going to be long, i can feel they think i lie
Tears started falling, mommy but why
this time we thought we are going
we cant stay, take us along
with pain and bleeding inside 
my babies goodbye

my head started pounding, my heart shut down
my palms were sweating, blood flow so fast
my feet were heavy, the words all gone
mommy why us, please we want you stay

my prayers for delays, slow down oh days
am not ready to go, i need more time
wet face, tears flow, i don't want to go
wait and please stay, so painful to hear
there is no way out, its a painful goodbye.
