Goodbye

When I look into your eyes

I don’t see I’m sorry 

I don’t see regret

I see the shadow of a father, 

I wish I could forget. 

The secrets behind your eyes, 

the truths buried deep within your heart,

no one really knows them,  

your smile hides the dark.

 You thought that you could leave,  

with only love to gain 

You gave her your life.  

You  gave  her your time,. 

You gave her your heart, 

and crushed mine in exchange. 

You chose to love her over me,

early trust betrayed, 

broken

fractured

burdened

my heart carries a lifetime of pain. 

I still don’t understand 

why you said 

“never call again”

but

Before I could ask you why, 

a click 

aching silence 

became our next  goodbye. 

Twenty-nine years of absence

nothing has ever truly numbed

 the pain  

the emptiness 

the loss

grows deeper. 

Being unworthy of your love still remains. 

Now your’e gone away again,  

your presence slipped away form earth,

no hope for reconciliation, 

has only surfaced hurt. 

Wherever you have gone

wherever you might be,  

whisper my name to the angels, 

maybe there, 

you’ll  find your love for me.
