Goodbye Poem by Alade Abayomi Idris

Cherish your friends when you have them
Give them food to nurture their bones
Give them water to wash away their dirt,
Clothing to cover their backs,
Edify their spirit with your love even if they least deserve it
Because you know not when goodbye would be said.

They don't have to be angels with the flawlessness of the gods
The world isn't designed for angels and angels they would never be no matter how hard they tried
Lower your expectations
Show them love to make them feel like angel.

Though, they made you soak your bed with a million tear drops
And your adrenalin, a billion bubbles that you want to reach for gun
Calm down, as difficult as it may
Because you know not when goodbye would be said.

To be good is to have heartache
To love is hard, caring is costly
All I would give
I would make you feel like king even if all you do is like slave
As no one knows when goodbye would be said.
