Goodbye

Shaili Sinha

Tired, weary eyes

Won't you ever just say goodbye?

A leaf falls gracefully down

Your face turns into more of a frown

Gently picking it up

You examine it, as if it could blowup

And so you let go of the leaf

Sighing in relief

At least no one’s there…watching you

You face the window: sky painted a majestic blue

The stars shimmering in the dark night,

You smile for once, everything’s alright

You turn around and leave the room

On your right, a flower blooms

And maybe, just maybe you’ll be okay

A spark of hope flickers in your eyes

The ones usually filled with dismay

The door slams shut, echoing behind you

You’ll look to see anyone will jump out of the blue

And safe to assume you walk away

Everything is nice

You blink, twice

Tired, weary eyes

You’ve finally said goodbye
