#farewells
from fairytales to farewells from sleepovers to it’s over rained like angels cried just need to get closer pillow talking alone dumbfounded and bold you avoid the truth of us i still couldn’t get enough from fairytales to farewells from goodnight kisses to silence the light still exists if you find it under the oak tree can you meet me? i am blinded by love can you see me?

Fairytales to Farewells
When the eye fails to recognize colors, and the ear ceases to catch sounds, when the mind doesn’t weave words into something coherent, and the body, shrunken, no longer flinches to escape fear. Then, my life, let me sit in a cozy chair, wrapped in warm light, and once again, let me dive deep into the idealized past. I will return without regret to those faces, voices, and places. I will wait, sitting in my pain, calmly. This departure will take a long while, before I stamp my one-way ticket, and everything becomes simple, unconditional. One day, the stream of my consciousness will dissolve into nothingness. Then, my soul, let me— in a gentler version than it was in reality— settle discreetly and painlessly in the memories of those dear to me. I want to be nothing more than a gentle touch of endless, patient love. A quiet presence, a whisper of boundless solace.

Farewells
For all that I am aches. For all I must forsake. It is the unfortunate. Destined fate. The final moment, we do not wake. When the time comes, you will break. When the time comes, let go of keepsake. When the time comes, rebuild and remake. Knowing you go on gives peace in mind. Knowing you will be strong keeps my spirit alive. If these are my last words to be made known. Let it be known I am overcome in an abundance of love. Let be known that the abundance of Love I return. For eternity x infinity.

Solace of last words
After you, I've had the urge to finally cut my hair that ended beneath my waist and looked good with shoulders bare. The length of it stretched on and it reminded me of you. The same endless cycle, you'd always split off into two. Colours have faded now, leaving the carcass of a strand. A fraud of what it truly was, growing under your demands. But I face the mirror now, as scissors went where you've dwelt. My mother hacked away my hair until I looked more like myself.

Where you and I end and begin.
The only word I hate Because it is always said When a person leaves me behind And never return. Goodbye

Goodbye
Here I am in the middle of your days before the summer has said goodbye and the brown beauty of fall has arrived. It is easy to forget to notice your persistent pink exuberance of crepe myrtle to escape the warmth of your winds for the coolness of the den. There is still time to grow before autumn ushers in the first snow. Being in your midst makes me mellow slows me and gives me time to re-member those I’ve loved in the midst of you, September, time to listen to you in the songs of birds hear the wisdom of your words on the peaceful cusp of Libra and Virgo. Speak to me September blow your breath upon the ember of this era in my journey let not the sparks still remaining be lost in the cross fires and anxiety of these days. In your haste to bid farewell to summer forget not my moments of wonder let me hear your thunder and please before you leave me speak to me in your deep warm voice and resurrect me from the wasteland of this languorous slumber.

September Speaks
You fare thee well only to those you wanna see again. I hope to come back soon enough. This is, good bye.

Farewells
Exiled in the darkest of nights a traversing light I suddenly see I hastily hid in fear yet staring in awe, in wonder I gazed I tried to tame the light it tamed me instead giving me tears as it continued its way

The Comet
The bustle of wheels and shoes across marble are muted by the high ceilings of the great Arrival Hall. Underneath its fluorescent skies a long back river flows winding around the headlands of counters and disappearing into x-ray caverns. The smell of suitcases hangs in the air like morning mist pooling around ankles. Not quite fading with the passing of day, but mingling with wafts of fresh coffee -and jet fuel. From somewhere in the distance a chapel bell chimes, announcing that Passengers of Flight AQ284 can board the plane in ten minutes time. the Passengers flock to their gate with the dependency of cattle to the bell and trickle, single file through a metal esophagus and into a Silver Dragon that flies at midnight taking off from a starlit path and into the cold dark night its echoing, parting roar speaks of farewells and bright futures and distant lands so very far away.

Air Port
It's another Tuesday afternoon, The stench of gloom in the air overpowered, By the smell of sugarless, herbal tea. I should be on my way soon, I look down, the eyes of a coward, Surrendering to words that escape me. "I’m leaving, on a hot air balloon," "I won't be back till the hills are snow cowered," "Lifelines of white, against a flat lining sea." "But I'll be back soon," I say, but she's gazing skyward, "So this is the night, He promised it to be." "Too many months of June", "Has my poor heart encountered," "It is time for her to be free." "And if this shiny moon," "Were to be crimson and flowered" "Wouldn't make a better goodbye, than this is to be." So the birds sang a tune, We looked back, staring forward, One final time, we took our first sip of tea. "If this is to be," "Our last cup of tea," "May it be with sugar, grandma," "Two spoons for you, Two spoons for me."

Two Spoons
Inside of her eyes she begs that you see the love she has for you. In her forced smile, she begs that you can see her soul desiring to touch yours again. And within her voice she begs to say "I love you" instead of "goodbye."

Unhealthy Pleads
A single drop of rain upon the ground. Like lightning strike that struck rain soddened earth. A monotonous voice rattles around, It’s face lit in the depths of the stone hearth, One light that will forever show me, you. Path burdened with unforgiving sorrow. To a life that waves a final adieu, There’s an endless number of tomorrows. But then tomorrow becomes yesterday With the fading “Au Revoir” in the wind. The distant trembles of sorrow that fray. Closed eyes of the once forgiving and kind. An undying love ceasing to exist, As a leaf on a river set adrift.

At long last
"See you around" Now, I have never been a fan of goodbyes But that was far-stretched to a point It could only be a lie. Our song, whose words either You have forgotten, Or, no longer care to utter, Has been long sung And over. And in an ideal world, You would be exactly where I belong, But the world always gets its way I must admit, It is hard to watch all your love Getting drained out of your bone With no face to blame And I don't know if it's a choice, I think not, To have a control over Who we choose to love And maybe I should have kept All these feelings bottled up In some dark corner of my mind But I had to try Or how would have I known And we tried, Did not we? Two souls against This world's ways But I guess it was just too much For anyone to take And we both were Two little kids Who increased in volume But never really grew up And writing is how I'll get to keep you Yet give you the final closure you need I loved you with every ounce of What was mine But it will be a suicide If I choose to stand here Hear your footsteps Till they fade Because your memories A quicksand I never learnt to escape I have to leave, Since you already have So, Goodbye to you, My lover, my better half, my best friend.
