Goodbye Kiss

Even as you entered
I felt you leave
With each breath I felt an exhale

 

Each kiss was a kiss goodbye

 

I can keep myself warm
With blankets and bed sheets
I can find others to laugh with

 

I can convince myself that days were wasted
Years squandered

 

I can remain angry at nothings uttered
And qualities left unappreciated
taken for granted

 

But when left to face
this face
Each morning

 

I can no longer deny

 

Because you are where I go to hide

VERY EXPRESSABLE POEM! YOUR WORDS WAS FLOWING WITH FEELINGS!

[Thomas Snider]

Phew... that was beautiful. I held my breath reading this, it was excellent. Everything is easy to get over... but when that person is not there, it's hard to feel fulfilled again.

"Because you are where I go to hide"
That really is an excellent line, it really displays how important that other person can be and how essential they are to keeping oneself together sometimes.

This was a beautiful piece of literature, and a definite favorite. Excellent work!

The longing to be with someone and being alone when they are gone was described well here.
