Goodbyes

We said our goodbyes, I wish I could remember it better. I never thought much of it, Never asked questions of it, Never questioned your decision; I never touched the wound again. I looked around emotionless, And saw mom sowing, Her eyes locked on the fabric Not daring to look up. She had asked if we were hungry, But we didn’t answer, I didn’t realize what was occuring. Never dared looked deep into there eyes, Because they would tell me the truth. I looked at the door, Wondering when you’ll return; Thinking in an hour you’ll be here again. But it took longer, So I stopped counting, and just waited for the day you’ll take us with you. I never thought it meant so much, Never thought it would be so harmful. Never thought it would come so soon, To have to say goodbye again.
