Exit

so much
pain endures
with good bye
that last
ending remark
and in
its leaving
became
the death
of my heart

This is so sad. But it was beautifully written.

Cold hands means a warm heart

Helen:

I despise
the word myself . . .
I try to say to people
see you later
Goodbye is much to final
and here you have caused me
to catch my breath a bit

Reminds me of my own goodbyes
you know?

This one hurt
xxoo

The truth of the exit...from which we grow.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

I really feel with you on this one today. This is my day. It is nice to read it expressed so clearly out there...no matter how sad.

Make your words as sweet as honey, someday you may have to eat them.

This poem is a tear, falling down the page....and beautiful, in the way that a tear is beautiful.
