I looked at you, taking a new breath
My heart started pumping a new kind of sensation,
The very moment your fingers ran across my body.
You changed me the way you wanted,
You used me the way you wanted.
You compared me, you criticised me,
For the things I couldn’t do,
For the things I was incapable of achieving.
And then came a day,
When you carelessly let go of me,
The same me, whom you adored,
The very same me, who kept all your secrets hidden from others.
Me, who stayed up all night with you,
To show you that someone did care for you.

And now you have a new,
Someone who looks very different from me,
But somehow, exactly the same from the inside, like I used to be.
Recently my phone died, it served me well. I felt it deserved more than just a goodbye.

Legs, straining
Pain, excruciating
Sadness, looming
Loneliness, accumulating

My future further
An alert to my health
They said, it is time to go  
Mom beckoned me home

I will never
Hear the waves
Feel the ship rocking
Donning the uniform
Saluting with pride


For I did not make it
Years I yearned the post
Now it is just my forgotten dust
Farewell my dream  

Determined soul
Fighting against defeats  
For I am a newborn  
Learning to love
For love is my strength
Oh lord please tell me  
Tell me it is all worthwhile
I gave my on trying to go for my dream job for love, tell me it is worth

We meet again under a new sky;
We live and love and laugh before
once more we have to say goodbye.
We part with a promise of an encore
like waves returning to the shore.

This silent is mine
I’m feeling alive in this empty space
Without us, without your stories
Our cycles, *****
Sorrow, regret and solitude are endowed for you
But you can't abolish all the memories
the heart too damaged
the sight too blurry
Don't try to disturb anymore
I just want to live in my own chamber

They said goodbyes
are the hardest but for me,
it was the easiest.

It was a farewell
I crave it arose a long time ago
it was a farewell I hoped
for in the moon
and even in the unseen shooting stars.

Eternal farewell to you
my guilt — I ached to erase
my hands — I yearned to wash
my past — that lingers in every midnight.

Eternal farewell to you.
say good bye to them.

Her trust in you is as good as an empty tank headed south
She won't use the rearview mirror headed far from you
What she leaves behind remains no concern to her burnt out heart
Eyes on the first exit out of here
The highway is her only vision, burying your bones
This is her farewell

goodbyes—
there were always goodbyes
and silence
more silence
but always more goodbyes

goodbyes—
ended without an hello
just started
we began again
but always more goodbyes

goodbyes—
ended in our reunions
maybe virtually
perhaps personally
but always more goodbyes

goodbyes—
this time it's goodbye
that just could—
that just might—
that just may—
stick.
