Goodbye, Forever
The last time we said goodbye, Wasn’t that long ago. You had to go battle demons. Leaving me no other choice. But to let go. You hugged me, Held me tight, Till we both cried. So yes, It’s hard for me to be here today. In a fancy black dress. I came anyway. I wouldn’t miss this. Not for anything else. Even if it took, Every ounce of strength I had left On my metaphorical shelf. I watched you lose it all. I even lost myself. I lost you then, But it’s so much fucking harder Losing you now. I kissed your forehead. You don’t look like yourself. But I know that you’re here. Your presence was felt. So, I’ll choose to forgive. And carry this love, Deep in my chest. The burdens I’ll bury At the grave, Where yer mama laid you to rest. The ache only hurts, Cause I’ll never hear your laugh In person again. I’ll never get the “I’m sorry” I still thought one day I might’ve. Our love. I’ll never forget. Your timidness. Mixed with that badass graceful wit...
