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.
