It's Not Goodbye

1 Comments

  • Sonnet
  • To be set free, but locked away in my own cell of fear

It's Not Goodbye

The days grew shorter
And every minute with you felt unreal
Having to let go of you was torture
But we both openly took this deal

My head concaved into your soul
My hands indulged into your back
Feeling everything but whole
Like I'm about to have a heart attack

My tears rivered down the seam of your shirt
And the remains rested in your fingerprints
The time apart will surely hurt
But I'm right here for you, my Prince

Every time I held you I knew
That it's not goodbye
And without you
It'll feel like a lifetime

Just know that I love you
And I'll be waiting
Keeping busy with other things
To not get distracted by anticipating

Of course we have our ups and downs
But to me you are the greatest thing that's ever happened
And we'll make the world hear our happiness - surround sound
And our lives together is the greatest thing I could have ever imagined

Always remember
That it's not goodbye
This will get better
And until then, I believe we'll survive

The emotions in this seemed to express a separation, and also the hope of being reunited with someone you were very close too. 'my Prince' makes me think it was someone you loved. The thoughts expressed were tenderly and lovely to read. There is a nice ring of Hope in this. The pacing/rhythm throughout was a bit bumpy in longer lines, but overall I enjoyed the read.

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
