How Do You Say Goodbye Poem by Janice M Pickett

How do you say goodbye
when you know that it is over
and all you can do is cry
and there's no way to recover
How do you just let go
knowing how you care
to move out from where
you're comfortable
leaving for who knows where
How do you hide your sorry
as you pack your bags to leave
all you really want right now
is curl right up and grieve
but sometimes through your tears
a dropp of sense will gleam
to remind you of the reason
you are walking from your dream
Sometimes through this sorrow
your inner strength will see
there's a better time tomorrow
without this misery
So forgive yourself for your actions
you had no other choice
for in your heart was a message
from that little inner voice
You heard what it was saying
you had to follow through
you had to say goodbye to him / her
it was the only thing to do
Now a new world beckons to you
with a challenge of it's own
a chance for new found happiness
full of new seeds you have sown

So smile and keep on moving
right out that front door
leave behind that sadness
and learn to live once more
