A Long Good-bye

Truth splits my ears.
I know the time is here.
The lights spear my body
severing the bond between us.
I can’t go on carrying
this weight I should be burying,
and so I place you down.
To listen to my beating heart sound.
The end of a long good-bye.
A life time of questioning why.
It doesn't matter. It’s over. It’s time.
I’m on the other side.
My eyes open with curiosity
about what’s next for me.
Hope colors all I see.
Feelin’ a sense of being free.
The end of a long good-bye.
A life time of questioning why.
It doesn't matter. It’s over. It’s time.
I’m on the other side.
A waterfall.
A perfect dive.
A glacial chill.
Being alive.
A pile of golden leaves.
Innocence intact.
Laughter far off.
A matter of fact.
The end of a long good-bye.
A life time of questioning why.
It doesn't matter. It’s over. It’s time.
I’m on the other side.
The absence of despair.
All things balanced and fair.
No sound of defeat.
No bitter in the sweet.
The end of a long good-bye.
A life time of questioning why.
It doesn't matter. It’s over. It’s time.
I’m on the other side.
