Goodbye is so bitter 

when spoken with malice laced lips 

worse still is the goodbye left unsaid 

the goodbye I wish I could have said 

at least to have spoken the words 

into the ears of the one 

whose residence was in the chambers of my heart 

to close the doors of my inner vaults 

to move on from here 

to be free of this feeling 

how do I find my way out of this torturous maze 

Hand in hand we walked through the dark of night 

love was the guiding light through the blackness off life 

I slipped 

lost my grip 

now I call out into the void 

there is no answer back 

there is no illumination to guide 

What to do with this newfound emptiness 

what is going to fill the hole 

left from the destruction wrought on my mind 

on my soul 

So much of myself I gave away 

what do I have left 

what more could I give 

what do I have but empty hands

 reaching for something 

Goodbye it is 

goodbye is the truth 

goodbye is a silence that kills 

goodbye my love 

please take care of the piece of my heart you have 

please take care of that part of myself I poured into you 

please take care of yourself 

goodbye my friend you have impacted me for the rest of my life 

passions memorial will ever been in the garden of my mind....

I read this on the anniversary of my father's death and thought about everything I said goodbye to as 2024 came to an end. It's totally understandable.

I said goodbye to a love this year, I wanted to entrust every piece of my heart and life to but he left my heart broken and ran away.
I lost my best friend, he dragged me into darkness and I still stayed there cause that was the only thing i could ever keep from him.

This year was full of farewells and reading this right now means a lot.

I have so many things I want to say, sir, but this year I said goodbye to some words. I also had to say goodbye to tell me about myself.

But don't forget that every farewell is a new beginning and I thank you so much for sharing this. you are an amazing writer, i don't even need to say that.
With the hope of new beginnings
