Goodbyes and Cries


A present overwhelmed with fear is easy to Realize


when all you have is Secrets you wish to keep Oblivious-


from those whom you care for and seek their Forgiveness


These realizations are lessons learned through Regrets-


remorse, and most importantly memories I constantly Visualize.


My past is something I can’t get past or Escape-


but here I am trying to rationalize through Denial-


and stating the obvious whilst being Emotional.


To many my Intention may look like Deception-


But to me this situation is no jape worth agape!


And though deceit may bring me my grand prize-


a happily ever after, still I fail to be that callous.


So I sit here writing about hurts and loss.


I don’t know if you can call me wise or just tired of lies.


All I know is that I can’t stop drying my eyes


I don’t need someone to be chivalrous


I just need to find answers and your prayers.


My journey is long but my goodbyes were harder than my cries!

 

 

Author notes

Goodbyes are harder than cries even though cries may seem longer than goodbyes!

CNQT

Poetry is a form of passionate expression kindled by an impression unbound by public conviction. I write mainly from two genres : impressionism and symbolism. Choose me or leave me, I'm not a backup plan and definitely not a second choice! Not everyone likes me but then again not everyone matters. What matters is peace and the feeling of being content. Every person is a book, this is just the place to share some pages from my book. Peace!
