Goodbye

It is what no one wishes to say
But repeated every time we part
It is saying goodbye
That strains at my heart
Goodbye is too uncertain
Will I see you once more?
Will I hear your voice again?
My soul in this word I out pour.
The last thing uttered before lonliness must come
After goodbye I can not reach you
It seems, somehow,your heart is numb;
Numb to my pain
As you can't hear my cries
After "goodbye" you can't hold me
Nor listen with your eyes
As soon as it passed our lips
We were troubled by our last word
Withour eachother we send out thoughts,
On the wings of a flightless bird.
No words could ever replace your eyes
nor a message be as sweet,
As the time I spend with you
So our hearts and hands can meet.
Goodbye is to painful
And the cure remains a traitor,
So, for now, I'll say
Simply "see you later"
