i feel like a fool,
it soon will be the end,
good bye my lovely friend,
sorry that this time has come,

someday i will see you sometime,
and when we meet i am sure we will be fine,
please don’t cry or i will too,
and remember i’ll always love you:)

How would I make it through
Will this ever go away
And I know that it exists, it’s true

When it arrives for all time I cry

When that moment seems dark
And you notice that I want to give up,
The pain bounds me as I scream behind the ark
My tears changes into blood, it falls into the cup.

Oh God what’s happening
Tell me why this is happening oh
People judging me and I can’t make it through, no
My life is upside-down
There goes the dark clouds all around
10 seconds starts now
Depression hurts
I’m encountering death somehow
It alerts, Goodbye.

She stood at the window. There was
a sound, a light.
She stood at the window. A face.

Was it that she was looking for,
he thought. Was it that
she was looking for. He said,

turn from it, turn
from it. The pain is
not unpainful. Turn from it.

The act of her anger, of
the anger she felt then,
not turning to him.

Saying goodbye
Was the hardest thing to do
I never thought I would
Especially not to you.

You always listened
And knew what to say
Knew when to give a hug
When I was having a bad day.

No one will ever take your place
I can always promise you this
It’s hard to find someone like you
So know you’ll always be missed

Come, thrust your hands in the warm earth
And feel her strength through all your veins;
Breathe her full odors, taste her mouth,
Which laughs away imagined pains;
Touch her life’s womb, yet know
This substance makes your grave also.

Shrink not; your flesh is no more sweet
Than flowers which daily blow and die;
Nor are your mein and dress so neat,
Nor half so pure your lucid eye;
And, yet, by flowers and earth I swear
You’re neat and pure and sweet and fair.

When I think back to all the good times we spent together.
I know we will stay friends forever.

I miss the old days how we use to play.
Hours and hours throughout the day.

You mean so much to me you have my heart.
You have had it from the very start.

The words come throughout the years.
Goodbye farewell bringing tears.

When I can not see you the forgotten memories form in my mind.
Remembering how you where so sweet loving and kind.

I miss you so much but I have to let go.
Goodbye my old friend I say with my heart sinking down low.

Imagining you’d come to say goodbye,
I made a doll of raffia and string.
I gave her thatch hair, and a broomstick skirt
of patchwork satin rags. Around each eye
I stitched thick lashes. Such a touching thing
she was! That even you could not debate –
impassive, undemanding and inert.
Yes, surely she’d cause you yourself to sigh.
Around her breast, I sewed a loden ring
to guard her cotton heart from being hurt,
then sat down in the fabric scraps to wait,
between the rafters and the furnace grate,
needle in hand, and never so aware
no craft on earth is master to despair.

You smell of rain
and your skin is
sticky
for a moment
i thought
i was
glued on to you
forever
but
this coat of comfort
has been soaked
through
and tomorrow i will
leave you
by yourself
drowing in your own
puddles of
lies

I’m on my way to greet my master
And shake his hand when I die.
I’m on my way to john sweet Jesus
In his mansion beyond on high.

I’m on my way to escape man’s woes
Where the faithful rise to tell their story.
Following the path of love and compliance.
Guided by God’s magnificence and glory.

As I journey to and from all I love
It hurts to say my absolute goodbye.
I’m on my way to divine fulfillment
But for those left behind, “I cry”.
