Bye, Bye Poem by Allysyn Bryant

To Daddy, To Ma, To Jimmy, To Joseph,
To Bryan, To Raiona, To Cheri-Anne, To Ty
And to all the rest….
You know who you are…

This is my goodbye to you
You all were a special part of my life
But, for now, I must let you go, let go and forget
I’ve held on to our memories together
The fun we had, and our disasters too
But keeping these memories is affecting me

…Affecting me and the other people in my life…

My focus is failing
Important dates are passing me by
My family is fading…away
I need to get back in the game
This game that’s called my life

No, this isn’t the end
This is me, for once, letting go
I need to move on
Something I can’t do while holding on to you
I’m sorry it has to happen this way
Forgive me
But, for now, I must say Bye.
