One shot at Goodbye

It isn’t easy, leaving loved ones,
Without giving a reason why,
Try to understand you but they can’t do,
That’s the hardest part.
Love is emotion, like the ocean,
Waves crashing upon a broken heart,
Hurting now, well so am I.
Hate and anger,
Rise above all the love you have,
Makes no difference, no change is forever,
Done all the talking,
But there is no listening,
I’m tried of asking why,
Two separate paths we travel,
That’s why this is goodbye

Sometimes, it takes much wisdom and courage to say goodbye. Nice one shot.

You left room in the spaces for us to write the story. Pity I like to know the story but I'm just greedy. Better poem if you leave the spaces for the story changes with every reader. Hope the resolution is harmonious. Thanks Gay @beachanny

This one hits hard because the goodbye in this case has a finality.
It is beautifully penned as a hard reality

Thanks my friend
I love when Poetry hits the target dead on

Sad, but truth in your words.

Perhaps, another year, a later date, the final goodbye will be less hurtful

Goodbye can be the hardest thing ever to say, but also the one word most needed to re-start a life again.
