Poetry: The last good-bye

by Beth Gaboury

Created on: July 08, 2011

I'm writing you a letter from the deepest part of my heart
To understand my meaning you must read both end and start

Darling love whom I hold dear amidst the trials
Though far away, it is your face I see all the while
Do you remember nights of passion and romance?
Do you remember how we'd kiss and laugh and dance?
It's as if only yesterday we were talking about life
But then was a time of less sadness and strife
I pray every night for your return to my embrace
I wish for your soft lips to be the ones I taste
Oh, love of mine, will you ever come back?
What does the vast terrain hold that home lacks?
Do you remember the tender kisses by the fire?
What of the heated nights of passion and desire?
Assure to me that the memories you held dear
Amidst your lonely heart have not disappeared
Come back someday to hold me in your arms again
Forever I pray this to God, Amen
Think of me sometimes, I ask you to try
And now with a tear, I am saying goodbye

...Goodbye
