Sad Goodbyes Poem by Wilfred Mellers

Sad Goodbyes
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Saturday, March 3,2012, @ 5: 26 PM

Once I had it all and stood a thousand feet tall
I had a house that was our home
Life was good like it should
A car in the driveway that took me my way

Hotter than July, I don't know why
Mortified and left with egg on my face
Happiness vanished without a trace
Quite the fact for I was left with only the cloths on my back

Such a distance to drop from the top
How long can it last for such time has passed?
Never I understood the scope for I was a dope
So I cope without giving up hope

Seasons come and they go
Winter birds fly solo
Past memories still echoes
Neighbors still say their hellos

Whispering still the willows
Sadness leaks in the shadows
From the hip throw in Judo
The drummer beats a syncopated tempo

The green trees have turned yellow
Frost still covers a hollow window
On occasions winter snows
Greener grass no longer grows

Laryngitis befell the sparrow
Still, the heart filled with sorrow
Such a big pill to swallow
Spring now soon falls on a dejected meadow

The artist paints a picture perfect photo
No longer call a planet is Pluto
But there is one thing I still know
For you, my heart will still glow

Does anyone have a heart I can borrow?
Mine is now hollow
My suburb has turned into a crime-ridden ghetto
Tarnished is my halo


My heart beats no more
Eaten its been by a condor
Lost I have my mentor
Now I've closed the door

These words I scribe now so you know
In my sincerest of heart, I loved you so
Now I let you go and wish you the best
For the time I spent with you I was truly blessed

These words I now pen
I cannot and will ever go through this again
The pain is just too much to bear the tears
Someone I've loved about me no longer cares
