Goodbyes

The unwanted goodbyes 
leave only emptiness. 

They leave plans half-full, 
memories half-empty, 
and force us into a bitter, 
half-assed form of acceptance. 

They leave us feeling numb 
and stagnant in our sorrow... 

As we realize what could have existed, 
but never will.

  1. This is so raw … there is great power there – maybe those lost expectations remind us we still have a future waiting when the smoke clears.
