Goodbye Poem by Thabitha Marakalala

Goodbye

I wonder where is the good in goodbye
When one is left to somber and cry
How do you say goodbye
To someone close to you
When your only wish is to crumble and die
How do you say bye
When you know you will never see their face under the same sky

I wish I could just turn back yesterday
Kneel down and pray
That heaven doesn't wink your way
I wish life had a heart
I know it would have made your beats to never part
I know it could have given you more years another start
Cause my days without you will tear me apart
I know they say everything has its time
Well I believe for you to be snatched away from me like this its a crime
Cause you were the closest to my heart

How do you expect me to soak my face in tears and put your memories behind
When your last words are still clear in my mind
How do you expect me to move right along
When the footprints that once guided me are gone
What's the reason for me to be left behind
When my sorrows and pains whisper in the wind
What's good in saying goodbye
When I know I won't be feeling your touch

They gave me you
Then ripped you out of my heart
They gave me your smile
Then took it from my face
They made me hear your voice
And crushed my heart when it made its choice
They made me walk with you
And left me to walk this Road alone

Goodbye is the saddest word
That the world ever heard
You Said it I broke down and cried
So much pain that my vision gets blurred
It's so hard
It's so sad
I don't think il ever understand
The good in saying goodbye..
