Hard Word To Say by Hope
Why can’t you say the word
The hurtful word goodbye
How long can I linger
How much longer will I cry

Have I played the fool
Been a fool long enough
Yes, I do know this,
Yet good-byes are really rough

A word I do not like
I would rather say g’day
Waiting, patiently, lingering
Still on my mind you prey

I know it will be hard
Good-byes are what I fear
Still open without closures
I dry up another tear

One day it will come
Maybe soon that fateful day
I still think its difficult
Good-bye's so hard to say

One of the most difficult words to say, especially to ones you never want to close off from, its the longing and wanting to know are they still open for you.

bubble This poem really reminds me of my ex-b/f. we were together for about 8 months and we had to say good-bye. it was a really hard time for me and i feel the pain. its like my heart isn't whole anymore. He was apart of my life, now it just seems like my life is empty! - Tria

bubble I really could relate to this poem. Goodbye is so hard to say. I just had to tell someone I deeply loved....Goodbye. - Elma
bubble You know, goodbye is very difficult to say, sometimes it is easier to just stay in a relationship that is hurting you. But I think sometimes you just need to know when to let go. Nice work. - Ariel
