Good bye
So good bye
you go your way
and
I'll go mine
the love we shared
was good
but
now it's time
so
good bye, good bye, good bye
  I have always felt free and happiest when writing poems.  There is something magical about creating something and putting your misery and woes into it.  It is an amazing emotional outlet.  Some people think that I am unemotional; this is the furthest from the truth.  I do tend to internalize alot and my feelings and emotions.  These invariably find there way to a notebook, napkin, even toilet paper. 

   Sometimes, I have an urge to write and I have no idea what I am gonna write.

   Most times I write a verse and that is all.  Months later I will go back to it and it clicks together.  It all is clear as crystal and I am able to fill in everything else around the verse.  Other times (almost never) I am able to sit and write something staright through in a single draft.  Such a poem is
Broken Promises (one of my all time favorites).  Every poem that I have written in a single sitting has been done so after a particular tough time in my life.

I am not saying that I am gifted; I am the first to say that my work sucks when compared to others.  What I do say, with pride, is that these writings are mine.  As such, they represent moments in my life... they each have a memory attached to them.  Each has a brief bit of my history attached.

I do hope that you enjoy.
Good bye (Reprise)
Candle lights
back in a place
where you were mine
your memory drifts on by
was I wrong
or
was I right
when I said
good bye, good bye, good bye
