I can’t decide
if life has been rather cruel or kind
it has given me circumstances
and unfortunate situations
that force me to let go
and wisdom that
teaches me to say goodbye

You came with rainbows for hellos,
and left with hurricanes for goodbyes.
(c)2016 - Mary Joyce Tibajia

You are a sincere lover
I'm afraid to hold you tighter
And break your innocence
Just to fill someone's absence

I'm happy in this madness
But I felt your sadness
You're the rainbow that brings colors
I'm the ashes who compels horrors

I wander in my dreariness
I travel in my loneliness
You fly in inspiration
And sailed in your hopeful anticipation

I'm in the long journey of mountains of apathy
Perhaps I'm tired of my lunacy
I want to take rest in your benevolence
And cherish your presence
I could not leave you
because I love you
I finally left you
because I had to

When a man say it's over
he has reached the elastic
limit of his patience

I'll not forget you
because I'll miss you
But, there'll be no tears
and there'll be no goodbye

Sometimes thoughts get wishy
Washy too, I feel,
And they take a little more to
Get to you.

Believe me, I know some things,
We're sure of that
And you and I
Are something

Something borrowed
Something broken
Something taken
Something loved

It's a little more than love
It's understanding
It's being in exactly the same wrong place
At the horribly wrong time.

Don't miss me,
Don't weep
Your tears make me thirsty
Your dry mouth makes me smile.

So remember,
I will come round again
When the turns in the green country lanes
Grow just so.
Something I just blurted out. It's an apology to all of you great poets out there. I haven't been reading (or writing) as many poems as I should have lately. I've been very busy, but I'll be back soon, my lovely poets.

I don’t believe in goodbyes
I believe in hellos, smiles, and questioning whys
Goodbyes are an end, a final, a limit
Goodbyes are terminus
An eradication
I believe there is no proper end

We are cemented within a cycle
A continuum
A never-ending relationship with the world
A flowing river out of your control
Goodbyes imply permanence
A life that never changes
A dormancy  

But Reality has it
You cannot fully control your goodbyes
A person can reenter your life and leave
Over and over and over
Then maybe goodbyes don’t even exist
People can exist in our memories
A perpetual reminder
A video stuck on replay
A beautiful hazy dream
I don’t believe in goodbyes
I believe in hellos, smiles, and questioning whys

If people continue to touch our lives
Leaving a lasting impact
A reason why
Then maybe goodbyes don’t even really exist
Because there is no such thing as a goodbye
Because there is no end to relationships
Because there is no end to memories
Because there is no end to love
Because there is no end to the feeling you have

We are cemented within a cycle
A continuum
And this is why I don’t believe in goodbyes
I believe in hellos, smiles, and questioning whys

Let’s embrace the idea
Yet see its amusing foolishness
Because maybe goodbyes don’t even exist

did you know...?
that the pencil dulls quickly
and youth spills
like thick slime that's sickly.

did you know...?
that in oxygen hair dies
and hellos are fleeting
so prepare for goodbyes.

did you know...?
that pain is an illusion
and sharp smart *****
just swim in confusion.

— The End —
