This is Goodbye

Your last words,
though spoken softly
were so loud!
And they got etched
into my brain
like a scratched record
playing again and again.

I am too exhausted,
almost dying...
Almost done,
like that setting sun.
I hold your hand
and I look at you
as a tear rolls slowly
down your cheek.

I think about yesterday
and all the better days we had
and wonder if they will ever
come again... I wonder
if I'll ever feel that way again.

You look up at me
with those eyes
I know so well
always serious,
so deep and insightful
as though you're
always in control.

But not now, not today...
You look so scared
like for once,
you don't have the answer.

I gaze at you,
looking deep into those hazel eyes
Hoping to understand
why you've said those things you did.
You scape my eyes
and stare at the peaceful tides.
But even the waves
don't have the answer.

I wonder for a moment
if this is all a dream
I am so confused, wond'ring,
hoping to be awaken
and be relieved...

But as the sun shoots
the last ray of light,
you look at me with a
with a piercing confirmation
I have never seen before.

And as you slowly pull me
towards you, I feel you arms
wrapped around me,
tightly and i know...
this is goodbye!
