The Simple Word Goodbye
No other explanation
The daily struggle is now over
From the battle I now silently retreat,
The truth behind all our troubles
Has now been revealed complete.
***
I have tried in so many ways
To help you where you need,
But you’ve built a wall so high
I fear you’ll never break free.
***
So I can’t let my heart get broken
I refuse to let you make me cry,
Nor allow you to shatter my dreams
So please let me say goodbye.
***
It’s not my place to try to change you
And that’s why it’s time for me to go,
I can’t watch you waste your life
That’ll hurt more than you know.
***
So forgive me but I’m leaving
I won’t give you any reason why,
I’ll offer the only explanation
Of the simple word goodbye.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
