Goodbye Sweet Boy

By: Sarah Michelle Lipscomb

Goodbye, sweet boy
you have slipped through my fingertips.
My veins are thumping,
my heart has broken, my mind is weak-
all I can think about is what we used to be.

Goodbye, sweet boy
to so many of those dreams I kept inside me.
You used to light up my life but
now when I think of you
I am filled with sadness and anger.

Goodbye, sweet boy
My nights are no longer filled
with thoughts of all our happy times,
but are now filled with all the tears from missing you.
These nights are cold and lonely

Goodbye, sweet boy
I feel love is only for the lucky and the strong.
I believe love is a dark cloud, approaching your heart
teasing it with all the love,
but then one day storming all over it, damaging it.

Well, our cloud is long gone,
and all I have to say to you is...
Goodbye, sweet boy.
