Poem Title: Adieu Goodbye!
Saying goodbye is hard for me
Memories of you shall always be
Like the sun that shines everyday
Memories of you will always stay
At thy grave side where I stand
Sorrow transports me to distant land
Like a rose on flowing stream
I motion without a destiny
It's hard to wave the yesteryears
it's hard to hide my flowing tears
I don't know how to say bye bye
I wish that I didn't have to cry
It's hard to be inside myself
it's hard to think inside my head
I know not how to dream at night
I wish our love didn't have a start
Adieu till we meet again
I wish that I could fly away
Like a butterfly that flutters its wings
From outward confusion to inner peace
I cannot help but feel the pain
I feel the loss without a gain
Like wounded prey, I bleed the joys
Of outward reunion and inner choice
Memories of you shall always live
Memories you will always be
Since saying goodbye is hard for me
I bid thy gentle soul a farewell sleep.
Saying goodbye is hard for me
Memory of you is all there is
Like the moon that shines at night
Memory of you will always last
At thy funeral site where I weep
Torment garbs me with total defeat
Like an eel that's caught by hook
I no more live by what I do
It's hard to wave the passing years
It's hard to cry my mournful tears
I don't know how to stay alive
I wish I didn't have a life
It's hard to live inside myself
It's hard to see inside my head
I don't know how, nor wrong, nor right
I wish our love could be revived
Adieu till we meet again
I wish that I could float astray
Like an empty ship that courts boisterous winds
From outward decision to inner wish
I cannot help but feel the rains
Of consolation without a pain
Like slaughtered beast, I bleed the hopes
Of outward reunion and inner goal
Memories of you I'll always live
Memories of you I'll always see
Since saying adieu is tough for me
I pray thy gentle soul rests in peace!
