You would think that with how many times I have experienced them,
Goodbyes would be much more easier.
But they aren’t becoming any more easier…
Each and every goodbye I have faced,
Has left a deep wound on my heart
-some wounds are deeper than others.

What can ease this horrid breaking of the heart?
Pie and ice cream- chocolate perhaps?
Everyone leaves.
No one stays.
You may think I am overreacting,
But I assure you I am not.

You would think that I would learn by now,
The less people I know, the less goodbyes I have to say.
But I am not learning anything.
Each and every person I have met,
Has left a uncomparable impact on who I am today
-some more uncomparable than others.

What can ease this horrid breaking of the heart?
Pie and ice cream- chocolate perhaps?
Everyone leaves.
No one stays.
You may think I am overreacting,
But I assure you I am not.

You would think I would not try anymore,
To open up my heart or to become close to anyone.
But all I do is try and try.
Each and every time I am faced with the opportunity to try,
I take that time and I try incredibly hard,
-sometimes more incredibly harder than others.

What can ease this horrid breaking of the heart?
Pie and ice cream-chocolate perhaps?
Everyone leaves.
No one stays.
You may think I am overreacting,
But I assure you I am not.

I have not learned my lesson in goodbyes,
You would think I would, right?

I just lost someone who I was positive saw every single little crack in my smile, who heard every tear I cried behind my laugh, and who could feel the pain I hid behind my happiness. I just lost someone who saw me.
