A poem I thought up after looking at a picture of a man looking over a grave. Enjoy.

Goodbye...
Such a sad word
That is tossed around
And used by so many
Without ever knowing
How much it truely hurts...

It hurt me when you said that word...
It still stings a hole in my heart
And now you're gone for good
And I weep still at your parting

"Let me do this one thing" you said...
You promised you'd be back
But now you're not and it's my turn
To use the frail word with so much sadness...

Goodbye my friend...
My companion...
My father...

Goodbye Always Hurts

Yeah, it's a bomb.
Yes, it's lit.
Yes, you better run for your life.

Not that I had anyone die on me, but moving away from my friends and the only life that I knew. The first stanza is the one that means the most to me. Nice write.

	from childhood's hour I have not been as others were-I have not seen as others saw-I could not bring my passions from a common spring from the same sourse I have not taken my sorrow: I could not awaken my heart to joy at the same tone and all I loved I loved alone.
