Goodbye

sorenbarrett

Emptiness where your form stood
A torn coat that once was good
A face that's lost, gone the form
Too soon left, an embrace so warm
Laugh and smile to see no more
Friendship left on a closed door
I never got to say goodbye
'Tis but farewell, a parting sigh

      An excellent way to perpetualise friendship gone to years. Perhaps one day someone will write one for ourselves as well. 🕊️🙏

        Thank you Cryptic When a nail is pulled it leaves a hole a memory of what was once there. A remembrance of what once held two pieces together

        • arqios

          oh, that is so true! I used to work in floor sanding for a bit. Sometimes we had to put in wood putty, sand it down and lacquer the thing. But you could always tell that there was a hole there.

          Sad write, Soren, this is when you know time is moving on, and even goodbyes get put on hold.

            My condolences, dear friend. This piece carries the weight of love outlasting form. Every line speaks like a whispered prayer to memory. Softly written, deeply felt. A lovely reflection on a life lost and the closure that we sometimes never get. Powerful. A fave.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                          Bidding goodbye is the toughest thing to do...and missing to bid the same keeps on pinching in each and every breathe you take.... The weight it carry is really heavy.. Marvelous piece of work.
