Not All Goodbyes Are Painful

I recall the time I had to say goodbye Funny, but there wasn't a tear in my eye, Seemed like the cruel years have all erased Each remnant of the feelings I onced traced, A sigh of relief was all that I could say None remained, the end was...overdue anyway. The closing doors led to my new life ahead And the coldness of the parting was left unsaid I took back all that once was part of me Out of this prison I can now breathe freely No more fear nor cowering dread that goes through my nights And no more tears of hurt to blur my human sights. Not all goodbyes are painful, that is what I know Some are better done to face a new tomorrow When the shackles drain all that is of you Goodbyes, though hard, are the last things you must do. For though you've loved sincerely from the heart Some loves are selfish, so with resolve - depart! All rights reserved~~Cynthia Buhain-Baello~~02.15.14
