A special poem about making peace and saying goodbye. |
-Sad Word Goodbye- by Keaton Foster I came here to cry I came here to try My intention is to offer The smallest of a white lie God above will forgive me For he knows what I must do Peace is both simultaneously My salvation and redemption Such whispered words of forgiveness Flow against the grain Nonetheless I persist Never one with nothing to say Easily I betray all that the angry man In me ever wanted to convey If you could understand I know that you would agree What a neutral place to be Free of all that we mean Free of all that had to be Like empty ships At the deepest depths of the sea Nothing else needs to be said The sad word goodbye Is all that can be left Nothing else needs to be expressed I have set you and myself free Escaping all that was once believed You are now deceased Death was your only way Fortunate am I to have another Our paths are quite different For you it was always About suffering For me it will always Be about living For you it was always About something unknown For me it will always Be about believing Not in you of course But in something greater Than the power that you Use to hold over my head Like a ton of bricks I will miss you as I always have I will mourn you for a brief Moment in time Then I will turn and walk away Never again upon this place Will an ounce of sorrow I waste The sad word goodbye Is all that is left and all that I owe I will pay my debt in full There will be no remaining balance Of any equation that you and I shared I say a kind prayer After all I am human And you, my mother Gave me this life Such a reluctant gift You did not want to give You died without me You died most alone Forever you will be Within your bones I am done The time is now for the Sad word goodbye… Sad Word Goodbye Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2013 |
