The goodbyes

poem by: Alli Steward
Written on Aug 18, 2013

After a week i start to weep
trying to shield myself from it all
i dont say bye i just cry and
- go to hug them all
they tell me 
"my friend we will make it, next year is near
- therefore there is nothing to fear"
but some of them weep with me.
-not for the goodbye reasons though.
For the reasons we wont mention because
 -they're visible as pee in snow.
By the end of the week my voice is meek 
I can barely whisper
As i walk away 
i cant even say 
-'good bye'
without getting those dreaded tears in my eyes
And that's why i've come to hate
The Goodbyes.

Robert Kohlhammer commented:
Well written, a poem that has many situations that allude to who and when the people involved are saying goodbye. Allowing the reader to interpret them.
