Last Goodbye

Last goodbyes,
Times in the day for the curtain to fall
To bring this scene to a close forevermore

Dropping the pen,
Letting it rest till needed once more,
Words not failing, but rather requesting rest

The words that lament and represent,
Every milestone for years, every turning point of the mind
Yet future points will not be archived the same way, for now the quill rests

The sword shall be lain to sleep,
The shield and mask are rusted, and shall be dismissed,
The memories that play on the silver screen will be remembered but the ghosts will fade in time

Every hero, every wonder,
Every villain and every wound,
Lain to rest now in this tomb of Last goodbyes

Half a life time worth of memories,
Wonderful and marvelous, horrible and painful,
Miracles and nightmares, this story had so much its time to close

This is the Last goodbye
An ending on terms that bring finish
The tomb of memories will lie with honor and glory

Last goodbye to friends separated
Last goodbye to family gone away by choice or the reapers hand
Last goodbye to every mentor who's time was shortened, happiness to the living, bliss to the parted

Farewell to the sword,
The weapon that manifest will
Lay to rest with the story it was a part of

Goodnight doubt,
Goodnight resentment,
Fleeting emotions that had a place, and now lay to sleep

The world still turns,
And life still goes on, this time however is done
This is the Last Goodbye, The final night, The End of Days,

For the pen falls
It rests on the desk,
Where it will lay for it too is a Last goodbye



Author notes

This poem is me closing the book on my childhood. This is me ending the pain, the BS, accepting the joy and willing to move on. I'm still me but I'll have to grow up soon, the world will change and if I don't keep up how can I have a good life?

So to everyone I cared for who died Thank you for being there
To those who seperated I wish a great life
Those in dark days, may more come

And lastly to me, I wish a Better life from the Last goodbye.

    i think it's heartfelt though, i must agree; in some aspects difficult to relate with. but all things considered it really was a nice piece of writing. it would help it if the flow held on a bit better, the flow seemed to me like it broke at times. i'm not asking for rhyme or anything...it just seemed that the flow could have been steadier.

    I found it difficult to relate to but i really enjoyed the last verses, I thought the were the strongest, by saying less u managed to put through more feeling that in the first verses. well done-was good.

    Very Nice

    It not my cup of tea but i am supposed to stay open minded. I liked the flow which was very good. I am sorry u ha to close such a rough book but, we all do it. I liked the imagery I felt it was very broad and can be interpeted in many varying ways. You have a good eye and sharp wit ur writing was beautiful and balanced it didn't get trite which is a thing done most common now a days. U presented a lovely story and i enjoyed reading it. Full applause and if their typos in here i am sorry i am a peck and key typer. Old habits die hard.
