Sad Is The Day Of Goodbye

there is pain
the kind of hurt
no one feels but you
we are our raw emotions
salt seeping from our souls
there is joy in knowing
and anguish in our loss
emptiness we can not fill
void in the hands of absence
forgive me for words contrite
but your sorrow is my own
I wish I could be with you now
just to hold you and your heart

"I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad."
— Joni Mitchell

What a comforting poem - and I have had salt seeping from my soul many a time, I could have used a friend, or a poem such as this.

I really understand this.
The desire to comfort someone, and yet all you have are words to send.

Beautiful and sad at the same time.

I've tried twice to send this to a friend, but the email function doesn't seem to be working...

You've written the words so many hearts have felt... this is one of your best.

Goodbyes can be really so painful, even if in heart and soul we are close.

Very beautifully rendered, dear Helen.

Love,

"salt seeping from our souls"
~ Loved that line!

"I wish I could be with you now
just to hold you and your heart"
