No Comfort Saying Goodbye

"No Comfort Saying Goodbye" is a poem expressing the loneliness and heartache we feel as we try to say goodbye to our loved ones.

————

There are no words

to express the heartbreak

and the loneliness

I feel deep down

within every fiber of my bones,

as I try to understand

how to say goodbye.

I find no comfort

knowing there is a higher power

to which all paths of life belong,

when my teardrops fall

and memories flash across my mind.

I feel my heart aching

as each second draws closer

towards death,

trying to cherish our memories

as I touch his hand,

not knowing

the words to speak.
