'Goodbye' Is Not Always A Good One Poem by Ali Kristianto Budiman

'Goodbye' Is Not Always A Good One

Rating: 4.8


My heart can no longer feel
Even the cut of surgical steel
Longing for the night just to sleep
But keep lost count of sheep

I’m standing tall and walking straight
What’s in mind is not what I had said
Hiding this troubled trembling soul inside me
I’m crying out loud but you can’t see

A little kiss and a smile
Waving this hand just for a while
“Goodbye” is what I shouted
But it wasn’t a good one
Has never been a good one…
