Hello is Goodbye

Posted at 4:49 pm under Creative Writing, Life, Poetry, my heart, time in a bottle

hello-goodbye, poetry, sarahflanigan.com

When hello is goodbye
I chase after them
to be my friends
I let go and there
is nothing there
I fall and no one
catches me

When I love you
is I hate you
betrayal is an odd
acquaintance
Doubt is the daily
drink
Confusion guides
all decisions

When the past
is your comfort
the eyes miss
the moment
the now slips by
unnoticed
and tears
never stop

    Sarah,

    I hope that in channeling the event or memory behind these words does relieve you from the tears if only momentarily. Your writing is as lovely as ever. And your posts have been greatly missed.

    Peace,
    wayne

    hello wayne,
    nice to see you again (as always). what can i say - life is what it is and the way i learn the lessons is through my pen i think. sorry about the infrequent posting - i’m trying to do more it more frequently but you know how fickle the muse is as well as life, don’t you? thanks again, i always enjoy your input and appreciate it very much.

    Hi Sarah, dropped in to peek around and see what you’ve been writing … and always a pleasure. You seem to give me something to think about with every visit — and that is a good thing! Keep writing.

    hello again, purple - so sorry, i still owe you a visit and life is keeping very busy. there is no greater compliment you could give a writer than to tell her she makes you think. i thank you greatly.
