After The Goodbye

It never matters
to them how many
tears you cry,
after the
goodbye.

JM, this is beautiful.  Those tears always seem to be endless, too.  Is that where the saying "Cry me a river" comes from?

James, your poem made me remember a time the words were never said!!

The disappearing act if far worse than the closure.  

Carry on good poet~
