Are words adequate?
Are feelings enough?
To grasp the unknown.
An unattainable challenge.
How can I make the words roll off my tongue?
It would suffice to say nothing.
I wish, oh how I wish.
Later is not here. Not yet.
Inside I feel, that I could die.
I just cannot say goodbye.

Poetry: Good-bye
by Jon Coe
Bring me my slippers and bring me my pipe
I'm off to retirement, had enough of the hype
Turn on the television and pour
by Sierra White
I cannot say,
It won't come out,
I wish it were far away,
But the time has come,
For us to part,
And I'll just sob and
The time is here to leave this place, never to return.
Everyone, they make mistakes, and this is how they learn.
The struggles
Petals wade through air
Something more permanent remains:
Leaves
But everlasting are the roots
That we grew here
Together.
Don’t
It wasn't working for you but I was content
It wasn't good enough, so away I went
You lied about us and the way I made you
