#good-bye
Half a life Half a love Undivided submission; Half-hearted I am utterly devoted To lesser moments. Between the sheets The mind drifts In search of atonement; Part-time wrong Entirely yours An inevitable outcome. It is living half a life Accepting half love Full-time; My light, Take me out of the dark The courage within to say goodbye.

Half love
You stopped by to see me on your way out of town. You said you were headed west because the locals were bringing you down. As you sat across from me, I looked into your eyes. Then it hit, how much I'd miss my friend, as we said our good-byes. I stood on the darkened sidewalk beneath a lamp that wasn't lit, As you drove your car away from me, My heart broke a little bit. I would never tell a young man never to explore, Because nobody could have held me back in my days of yesteryore. A piece of me feels envy. I'm no longer a young man. If I were, then I would be with you, Hand in loving hand. Maybe once in a while think of me, When. like a stallion, you roam free. When you kiss the pretty ponies, Give a kiss for me. As you blaze your fiery trail until you reach the ocean shore, Remember that my heart is with you And shall be evermore.

Farewell, My Fond Explorer
Lost Lovers Losing Linguistic Lusts... Is this us? forever tied to the tongues' receding tide Lying on our backs staring into the sky Letting the salt wash over our sentimental dreams I think I'm saying good-bye. 080304~6.04p

Lost
I watch the tear leak down your cheek Escaped from your red rimmed eyes In my arms I feel you shaking Trying to so hard to say good-bye Darling, don't make it hard on yourself Wasn't it easier to grab your bags and go? There was no need to tell me you'd be gone I'd settle for a simple 'I'll see you tomorrow' I won't believe I've left your heart Until the day you've completely left mine Telling me you're leaving doesn't make me believe it Until you're truly gone and we've run out of time

Trying to Let Go
Please help me to say good-bye, It's okay to feel hurt, It's okay to cry. I promise I will not be in pain anymore I promise that my promises will be sure. It hurts like hell, But this is my last farewell. My soul is now in Heaven So lay me down in that wooden coffin. Hold my hand, then let me go You look at me, then walk away slow Oh, How I wish I could hold you, To tell you that my love is still true. I want to speak and see your face I long to be held once more in your arms of grace. A single tear rolls down your cheek, You can not form the words you want to speak. You remember the past six years, The smiles, laughs, even the tears. I know it will be hard to do, But promise me you will find a girl just for you. I have moved on to bigger things, I received my halo and my wings. I believe there is a reason for everything, Even if we didn't get our spring wedding. Now I will help you to say good-bye, It's okay to hurt, it's okay to cry. I promise I will hold you close in my heart, There, we will never be apart. I promise to keep my promises, my love

Promises
He had his entire life ahead of him. He was smart, kind, and handsome But that accident came, and no one is to blame He left Earth so soon, is it fair? He came and went like a breeze of cool air. He is now safe, He is with God In a small town, we are still awed. We cry and pray, pray and cry Asking God again and again "Why, Oh Why?" We all know God had bigger plans Which are more powerful that an ordinary man's I guess this is good-bye, So spread your wings and fly
