Can I Say Goodbye?

116 "O"

I am what is left after all else is gone,

I am the moment that held on for a little too long before it finally ended,

I am the wound that never mended but healed enough to stop the pain

I am the fall that never rose again, the petals that never grew

I am the girl, who did not matter enough

I never quite belonged here so this place does not reach for me

There is nothing it wants to keep and I am not permanent enough to stay

I am what fades away as time continues in its stead

Not even my words are permanent

You will eventually forget the poems you read
