LET ME SAY GOoDBYE

let me say
goodbye
for i won't see
my love for a time

my heart shall
bleed with want.
and my soul shall
tear in sorrow.

the days seem
longer
the wind grows
ever colder.

i seek for
his presence
though he doesn't
seek mine.

i thought
i've let go
of him.
but

a wish still
echoes
in the depths
of my soul

his presence,
still
in the walls
of my mind.

a mere echo
but it is
still there.
echoing.

causing happiness
yet pain.
such a feeling
of sweet suffering.

i wish to be let go of
yet
i do not want
to let go

to forget
to move on.
i am still filled
with yearning

for him
and longing
to feel
his love.

but i cannot
have him
for his heart
is not mine


so
let me say
goodbye
though

this heart
of mine will
never say
goodbye.
