No Need For Goodbye Poem by Nell Sheridan

No need for goodbye

Time she is fleeting, chances,so quickly fall away,

Time so unforgiving, leaving, unspoken words to say,

Time she slips away, unnoticed, invisible to the eye,

Time she hold us, accountable, regretful tears left to cry,

If this was our last moment, how would you remember me?
If this was our last second,what would you say me?

No second chances, afforded, no dress rehearsals here,

The only performance, concurrently, this day month and year,

There is truth, within, your chosen memories remain,

No replay exists, regardless,utterly pointless to complain,

If this was our last moment, how would you remember this?
If this was our last second, am I someone you would miss?

Would you know? , how loved, you were every single day,

Would you understand? , significantly, I wished I could stay,

Would you know? , sincerely, that you were dearly missed,

Would you know? , genuinely, as part of me you consist,

If this was our last moment, would you have time for me?
If this was our last second, would you stop and look at me?

Memories they remain, dwindling, one day to the next,

Often they will, leave you, confused and quite perplexed,

Do I leave you, feeling, loved and thus respected? ,

Or do I need, changing? , our memories factually reflected,

If this was our last moment, what would you share?
If this was our last second, would you stop and care?

Would you speak? , unspoken, the silent words upon your lips,

Would you speak? , devoid, of the emotional eclipse,

Could you give? , to me, that which Ido offer,

Emotions are shared, openly, this I can truly proffer,

If this was our last moment, how would you remember me?
If this was our last second, what would you want it to be?

Goodbye is very, final, nowhere else left to go,

I pray that I have, told you, allthat you should know,

Although we are done, loved, you shall always be,

Yes even though it's, over, you are still loved by me,

If this was our last moment, there's no need for you to cry,
If this was our last second, there'sno need to say goodbye? ,

My only fear leaving, unsaid, words within this instant,

I do not wish,to regret, things that are so relevant,

Yes I'll be waiting, hell's gate, humming yourfavourite tune,

Yes I'll be waiting, our souls, will be singing very soon.
