Goodbye

Goodbye but not forever

 

But for a bit

 

I can put on my ipod and listen to music all night but

 

It won’t erase the image of you

 

Your silky hair your gorgeous eyes the bright smile you show me

 

All gone

 

You’re gone

 

I don’t know why I am not gone too

 

I know that life takes its toll

 

But why now

 

Why did life point a finger at you

 

Or did they take it from a hat of papers

 

Like a sea of names

 

As the people drown wondering if they’ll make it out of death's grasp

 

You were one of them

 

Trying to live

 

But death caught you

 

Picked you up and flew away

 

I will soon join you too

 

Till that day I will say goodbye but not forever
