Goodbye

Watching the propeller thrusting through the waves beneath the clouds

Watching every raindrop flickering black and white

Remembering you from back at the lands ground

Right there, with disturion cloaking your mind

I'm didn't even partioly apologize

I should apologize for now

That I was'nt even around

Sometimes things deny

To go the way we have always prepared for

But I really do apologize for the time being, right now

That I couldnt be there for you now

But there will be a day

That you will be able to understand

When the time comes you will understand

After sometime you will leave it all behind and forget

But just incase the memory, our memory corsses your mind

You did not know this when I left

Right under the burning fire in your bittered eyes

I never wanted to say goodbye

But do remember,

In everyroom we shared in our time together theres a box of memories shared

And nows the time to pack it all away

With sorrow and care

At first it was nothing but a smile

Whenever I rememered the thought of you

Tidily sealed in my mind as an envalop

Its the best that I could do

After are all of the memories

Of the times when we were two

Wrapped with one another by the cacoon of love simply as one

Sealed with salty tears that became as glue

And then there are the butterflies

I had for you when you were near

Now in a jail of sadness

Locked up with a tear

After are the times when we emraced with a kiss

Each one of us wraped with a sigh

Planted right next to a folded list

Of all of the times I've asked myself why?

And now to gather and pack the pieces of my heart

Gathered in a pile

Each one wrapped up delicately

And fixed next to a distant smile

Atlast all of the broken wishes

Placed in softly so no more can break

Making them over and over again trying not to cry

So they would not all ache

In the end just me walkin around each room

Shutting each and every curtain

Locking each and every door

Leavung behind each and every pain

Collecting and gathering the memories once shared

Making damn sure I've collected them all

Keeping them safely because I truly cared

Leaving them in a box right across the hall

Reviews

[Andrew Nelson Stewart]

To laud memories and how each moment becomes valued until its dead in the past but keep reliving the memories they never truly die out. I loved the line 'Now in a jail of sadness
Locked up with a tear." The rawness, potency of pain in each line wrapped up so delicately it becomes enduring throughout the poem. William Blake said once " He who binds to himself a joy, Does the wing life destroy; But he who kisses the joy as it flies, Lives in Eternity sunrise." Eternity sunrise that metaphoric beginning of something like joy and beauty, that has no beginning and no end. Keep writing sincerely your friend in poetry and life

Very good, describing the memories as being carefully packed, a very familiar image that we all share. People can let go of each other but those memories remain.
