Painful goodbye

 

Tatenda Dafi

It hurts so deeply to say goodbye

When you share the last moment

And remember when you first said hi

You welcome the darkness that engulfs

Life becomes void, you start to die slowly

Your heart dies and gradually turns to coal

Yet under the blunt misery, you still want some more.

 

The importance of something is only realised when it vanishes

You picture the moment she first smiled

Your memories are filled with blemishes

It hurts so deeply to say goodbye

 

When she’s out of the picture

Your heart experiences a fracture

What’s left is the indelible and vile reminiscence

A stroll down memory lane

Steams of tears gush down

Indeed, you go insane

Depression creeps in, in your tears you start to drown

It hurts so deeply to say goodbye.
