Half of what I say is meaningless; but I say it so that the other half may reach you. --Kahlil Gibran

"Goodbye"

October 24, 2008

It’s a word  that capsulates  my grief

Over a lost love that ironically

I haven’t  yet found

In him whose affection

Never reached its depth.

 

Goodbye is a word that seals 

A love story that never fully bloomed:

Ended before it even completely

Unravelled itself.

 

Goodbye is an act of  spreading

My wings away from the

Pitfalls of untested love;

My protest against a passive affection

He claims to be true.

 

Goodbye is a silenced “I love you”

That never will be told

For my heart decides to mute itself

Because it cannot make an unworthy sacrifice.
