Though goodbye verse
is my choice
sad tears cascade
unbidden

Tis true that I
kept so many
of my emotions
hidden

All love, unfelt,
held at bay
sealed off for
a time

Feel the pain
of this goodbye
read it now
within my rhyme

This took me back to a time that I refused to make close friends as I didn't want to hurt so when I said goodbye again.  Such a great loss did I afford myself, for there had been 3 years to have developed relationships that really could have lasted.

Well done piece!

Congratulations on the 10,000, but it's not really goodbye from you is it? Please say it isn't so.

Congratulations on 10000, what an achievement. I am very happy that you chose the title Goodbye on the same day I wrote a poem titled the same. Hope you get to 20000 soon.

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love

Congratulations on your 10000th post.  Wow.  You've accomplished so much...

just think, each time you've touched the keyboard, you've magnified your smiles, your friendships, acquaintances...10000 times....

It takes a lot for one to seal themselves off....but the friendships and the things the heart will miss....is it worth it?

The thing to say goodbye to is the pain.

Sharon-
  Congratulations on 10,000!    WOW!!  
  I really like this poem too...sometimes
  it takes a goodbye to bring out our
  true feelings...this expresses it well.

Goodbye? Just when I'm coming back better than ever?...Surely you jest?....Why, why, I'm just coming back to try to get into your pants?....What's this?   Why, what are you doing tomorrow? Are you wearing underwear? What color? Why, why, I'm just here to please your every whim?.....I love ya ya know?

Saying good bye always sucks,....well....most of the time it does.  
But if I must say it, you've said an excellent goodbye.

And I hope you're not leaving Passions, are you?
