Parting sorrow

Do not say goodbye
All goodbyes are lies,
Uttered in moments of strength
Which crumble in the eddy of memories
Surfacing in trying times
To rock the boat or bury you
In siren rush of sadness.
There are no closed doors
In this valley of shades,
No sleep to be found in between
Torn insect wing eyelids.
You must live it all over
The dull nagging pain
Of loss at whatever time.
