Goodbye Poem by Sandra Martyres

Goodbye

Rating: 5.0


So you needed a subject to call,
Then, I guess that will be all.

Goodbye, my erstwhile friend,
There is nothing left to mend.

Backwards I did bend,
To be a kind and dear friend.

But alas, I suppose that is life
One long battle against strife.

Let us bid farewell and call it a day,
Wish each other well and go our own way.

Though this happens, sadly, it is also true that there are people who are not people oriented; they are task oriented; so they always need to be completing some task. So believe it or not, you can also be a 'task' on someones list, but it just means they are happy to be accomplishing things (yes it took me a while to get my brain around this- I myself would throw everything out the door just to make room for one more living, breathing, moving-about human...(smile)

The subject to call is so appropriate. True friends don't need a reason to keep in touch. I like the word erstwhile and admired your strength and acceptance of the break in your friendship. Karin Anderson
