PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

by Jeph Johnson

I said goodbye that morning
It was the last thing I would say
You left me without warning
In your dark brown Chevrolet

Goodbye were not the only
Words I wanted to see
Emerging from your lonely
Lips, speaking your legacy

And tonight this night
Might rain more tears
Than I have ever cried
Falling like a shower
From my steel blue eyes

The last goodbye
I let go of your hand
A wave goodbye is something
Hard to understand

Your last goodbye
Came so suddenly
Leaving me with memories of you
A lonely memory of you

I loved you that morning
But "goodbye" is all I sighed
It's a different kind of mourning
When the love you had has died

A foggy rural highway
Intersection held your fate
Our last goodbye
You lost your life
He couldn't find his brake

And tonight the night
Might rain more tears
Than I have ever cried
Falling every hour
From my steel blue eyes

The last goodbye
I let go of your hand
A wave goodbye is something
I can't understand

Our last goodbye
Throwing ashes in the sea
You are more to me
Than just a memory

(solo)

The last goodbye I wondered
And still can't understand
How you climbed up high to Heaven
And I fell to earth a man

And tonight this night
Might rain more tears
Than I have ever cried

And I know this night
And tears I cry
That weep down
From my steel blue eyes
Remember days your words to me
Weren't just goodbye
Or just a memory

Until my final day
Through steel blue eyes
It's hard to see
The last goodbye
