The Goodbye

By:  Chris Avidano

 

The goodbye,

The final chapter,

The part where the road ends,

And a new life begins.

 

The goodbye is the first step,

In starting over with a new heart,

Hoping that the next time,

Will be right for rhythm and rhyme.

 

I look into your eyes,

And see into your soul.

And before you can say a word,

Your heart has been heard.

 

I realize you will say goodbye,

For I know that something is not there,

Yet, even as you say it,

I don't want to see us quit.

 

You walk away from me,

Leaving me all alone in the dark,

And I am left to tears of pain,

Falling from my eyes as rain.

 

The goodbye,

The final chapter,

The part where the road ends,

And a new life begins.
