I'm Afraid To Write A Goodbye Poem

I'm afraid to write a 'goodbye' poem
I just can't bare to write...
Everything that hides within my heart
And haunts me still this night

I couldn't say 'goodbye' before
'Twas all I could do to speak
I felt that if I'd hugged you
My eyes would have sprung a leak

And once my eyes had started
The rest of me would go
And then...before you knew it...
I'd be someone you didn't know !

You see...if I let down my guard
And let my feelings show
Then all control is lost for me
And darkness starts to grow

So here I sit...late this night
Knowing that you've left
And though it won't show on my face
It's my heart that feels bereft

So I just can't write that 'goodbye' poem
It's something I just won't do
Instead...I'll wait here patiently
Until my heart can smile with you ! :-)

When I read your poems my heart must be on my sleeve.
You paint such a vivid picture. the tears you would not believe.

keep this true love of yours veiled behind the burly big heart that waits for some one gone--- and don't be gloomy for the unknown fright of your fate's fight that's only be won by the silent spell spoken to He Who can change the scene.
so never write that Good bye poem as what you've written here has commenced your new journey towards your love again!!! :)
cares & regards.
