Saying Goodbye
By Erin
Looking into your,
Sad,
Starry eyes-
I am overcome with the fear
That you will leave.
So this is my,
Goodbye,
For when you pick up your hope
And go;
Just know I'll always
Want you,
Need you,
Think and dream
Of you-
And when you are,
Lost and broken
I'll be waiting,
For you to call my name.
This is my,
Broken goodbye,
An aching heart
And pounding mind.
I'll miss you dearly,
But I'll keep fighting-
Invisibly and silently.
I'd give you everything,
Buy you all the diamonds in the world.
Take you to the most
Beautiful places,
And dance around in the sun-
Just give me the word,
We'll plan it all,
I'm willing to do anything;
But you always,
Hesitate.
I cant take all these promises
Away.
What do you want?
A better home,
New dreams?
What do you need?
A heart,
A friend?
What makes you hurt?
Your friends,
Or the boys?
What kills you inside?
Your insecurities,
Or your broken bones?
Give me the answer,
I'll make it all get better.
Tell me what to do,
I'll do it if I can.
I'd do everything,
If only you'd stay-
You always say that people
Leave you;
But maybe you,
Leave them.
Maybe it's all turned around,
You leave because
You're so afraid,
And people hurt whenever they're
Angry-
So they hurt you,
After you hurt them.
I'm saying goodbye,
Because I know you'll leave.
I told you I do,
But now you're leaving me-
Washing away,
Into the sun so bright,
But I'll stay right here.
I'll be waiting for you every night.
