Good-Bye Baby Poem by Jay Aguiniga

Hey baby we tried,
We done everything we could.
We tried to pull this through,
But the tug of war, overcame me..today
I have no strength left in me
I have no more words to say.

I’m worn by the long trips home,
With you just staring out that window.
I’m thinking to myself..
Whoever thought our Rome….
Would fall…
Our self built Coliseum of marble
Wall…,
We both dreamed it would
Stand the test of time.
But today it crumbled in a heap,
I couldn’t hold it up any longer
I’m just too shattered in the mind….

When we was both younger
We had life by the horns.
It was a 20 year old ride,
we rode it… until
all that was left of the rose
was the thorns.
Although I can still smell
The memory.. its longed past.
It went by so fast…
Oh baby, I really thought
This would last…

Some are…
happy with just soaring in the clouds.
But baby, I want to explore
What’s beyond those stars….
I want so much, more….
What hurts the most,
I know this aint the only Rodeo.
This aint the only video
Of a love that went wrong,
Its not the only sad song
On the radio…..

You will eventually move on..
And so will I,
Our love fell today …hun.
In a blink of an watered up eye,
I hope the hurt subsides soon,
So one day, I can dust myself off
And wipe these tears away……

Good-Bye Baby
