Final Goodbye Poem by Jacqui Broad

Final Goodbye



Bob Marley sings
'Don't worry about a thing,
'cause everything's gonna be all right.'
And it's true if you think through the night.
It rained and I saw your rainbow,
and in my heart I know
that everything's going to be okay,
and that I can look forward to every day.
You haven't left me, you're still by my side,
and I can cry now all the tears I hide.
I kept myself brave and strong,
but I can't keep it up for too long.
When I break down I want to be alone,
to think of you and all the things I've known.
I have to compartementalize things in my brain.
I must keep faith to stay strong and sane.
And I will, I promise I will,
but without you I have nill.
I only ever had my love to give,
and much more did I receive.
So the final goodbye must get written by hand,
if I want to make sense of things hard to understand.
My life is full, but my heart is empty,
when I had you, I had plenty.
So adios, my love, till we meet again.
This is my final goodbye, till then...

Emptiness, but still feeling the spirit, Bitterness but somehow everything will be all right Sweet memories will remain The spirit lives on in what we do. A very well written poem Jacqui, stirring the emotions and memories of the reader.

It really pain and it hard to let go word for all people when there was good time shared with...Sometime we can predict what people need from us, i mean they come and go and we still here going nowhere...The thing that end of every beautiful moment is only by this word, a goodbye...it teach me when i wanna say goodbye for all...but then i think will i forget that things i have built, all the hopes i want to see in them...to watch the best life they will have...to help when they in need, so i burn my goodbye..well you poem kinda remind me something...Keep your words fresh like always J! :) _Unwritten Soul
