Goodbye,
This cold cruel world has taken its toll.
Goodbye,
I feel I am no longer whole.
Goodbye,
Constant betrayal, by lover and friend.

Has broken my heart can no longer mend.
Goodbye,
I must go away.
Goodbye,
That’s all I wanted to say.

Of all I've lost; I miss my innocence  the most.

please, let this not be a forever goodbye.
The reality of leaving is something which all those around you face, and you, cannot turn back.

Yea the world is cruel and cold, but isn't it worth it just for the dew moments when you can smile real, and when you can look into the eyes of the one you love?

Nicely penned poem.
Keep the poetry comin' in.
Always, GG

Bueno, amigo. Your mom didn't make you all those homemeade tortillas just so you could wave 'goodbye cruel world.'
Remember Albert, all the love and kindness she rolled into each one, to give you strength.

you know, this is a feeling that you are not alone in having, friend. Leaving is not the answer.

Thx all I know. Writing helps me deal with the emotions.

I have often thought that it made no sense that a greeting  could be "hell"o and a farewell could be "good"bye. I don't like goodbyes, and the sound of yours saddens me.
From my own personal experiences of tragedies and losses, I have found that after I have weathered the storms, the sun always came out again to brighten my days.

Goodbyes are one of the things I hate the most. You expess your emotions well.


Time and writing help heal

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Albert, I too think goodbye is the saddest word in the dictionary, sweet friend, my heart goes out to you, never say goodbye for this is only the beginning and many sunny days are ahead for you without betrayal! (sigh) My thoughts are with you, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Albert, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
