The Day You Said Goodbye Poem by Cynthia Aluning

When sunrise begins to frown
As the rays of the sun
Could no longer warm
The frozen heart
That you left behind,
You're on your own
But, I'd be around...

When moonlight starts to fade
Its peaceful starry night
As darkness embraces the clouds
And welcomes a threat of storm
You never know,
I look you around...

When the rain begins to pour
And the stars lose its glow
My tears will wash off
Insanity of this world
Where I was drawn,
Immensely drowned
Yet, I'd still be around...

The scent of you is in the air
The thought of you is everywhere
I feel your touches on my nape
When your fingers run through my hair
You gently pressed your lips against mine
As you imprisoned me gently by your arms
Wish you're still around...

How could I tell you not to go?
You didn't know what I was going through
An ounce of pity is immesurable
When I tell the truth that was long untold
You left me alone on this road
During the time that I needed you most
To comfort my weak and dying soul

When the earth cries upon my aches
I feel I'm cleansed of all mistakes
I'll keep it locked up in this heart
The memories of our days gone by
When you took away my life
And you caused me to die...
The day you said goodbye

Firm I stand though...
I feel my breath will cut short
It's hard to move on
When I'm still clinging to your words
I still beg to hold on
Promises you've once swore
My will to live more

Each day I wake up in the morn'
Catching magnificent view of the horizon
I think of you on and on...
Passing sunrise waiting by my window,
I still cling on that tiny little hope
That one day, I perfectly know...
Droplets of tears from your eyes will pour
Hunger for my touch you'll miss forevermore

The love I offered
Seemed to last forever
But you stabbed my heart
Till I cried a river
One day, I know...
You will be very near
As I whisper in your ear
And shed my final tear

I truly love you all these days
Though you left me miles and miles away
Sooner, I will again smile,
While the world will start to cry
A final glance before I close my eyes
On that very day I will say goodbye...
