Goodbye Moon

Goodbye Moon

A Poem by mjsalyers
"

A relationship that ended because only one was fighting to keep it when they should have followed lead and just let go.

"
Wishing you the best of all intentions .
As you allowed the sun to set on all the days we shared .
Knowing deep down in our souls if we move along .
That nothing we can find can never compare .
You brushed my cheek with the darkness of the moment .
And I saw it in your eyes , you were not really even there .
Better days will come out of all the the darkness .
But what can it mean if these moments are not shared ?
   Goodbye moon , goodbye sky .... I could hang my head and cry .
   But good could that do ? Who needs a sad goodbye ?
   Goodbye wind , goodbye sun .... when all of my work is done .
   I am so confused why we ever came apart .... when we are one .
I never saw love as so cheap that it could be thrown away .
When I fought so hard to keep us the same.
I know my best days have passed  me by like a whisper .
And you're the love I never threw away .
These are the tmes when there is no need for tears .
And there's nothing left to say .
Standing with the souls turned towards the darkness .
Just a tremble and a sigh as 2 bodies walk away.
   Goodbye moon , goodbye sky .... I could hang my head and cry .
   But good could that do ? Who needs a sad goodbye ?
   Goodbye wind , goodbye sun .... when all of my work is done .
   I am so confused why we ever came apart .... when we are one .
Heartbeats rise as everything comes full circle .
A begin and end just to start all over again.
I can't see a reason left for weeping .
Because there is no goodbye if there is no end .
The angel of the mourning speads darkened wings .
Until reborn in the circle around the sun .
Everything is the same in all the endings .
And just when you think it's over , it's really just begun.
   Goodbye moon , goodbye sky .... I could hang my head and cry .
   But good could that do ? Who needs a sad goodbye ?
   Goodbye wind , goodbye sun .... when all of my work is done .
   How can we ever really give up .... when we are one ?

Nicely done my friend! But all goodbyes are beginnings! Anyways, I'd like to confirm if the line, "But good could that do?" In the repeating stanzas, Shouldn't "but" be changed to "But what"? or was that intentional?

Anyways awesome content as always! Keep at it. Also, you may want to input spaces in every 4 lines. Or did you copy paste your work again? :)
