Goodbye Poem by Tiya Sen

As you pack your bags and are all set to leave,
Like a mourning child my heart begins to grieve.
I can feel a deep aching gripping my chest,
As I know after this day my heart will never rest.
When you take a step towards the door,
I can’t contain my tear anymore.
You turn back and rush to me,
And tell me this is how it is to be.
You tell me that I need to be to strong,
That this pain will not last for long.
I break down and crumble in yours arms,
Cos I know that you will not be there to shield me from the harms,
You hold me tight and say that I will be happy someday,
And you will become a faded memory to me down the way.
I take your hand and finally look in your eyes,
I see the same pain because of which my heart cries.
So I take a breath and pull away from you,
And ask you to do what you are supposed to.
With one last glance you walk out of my life’s play,
Leaving me hoping and praying that you ‘ll come back, each day.
I wish, we had the strength to fight destiny, every night,
But go sleep knowing that nothing or no one can ever make things right.
Because the day you bid me goodbye,
My soul had no other choice but to die.
