Unspoken Melodies: Poems That Sing

Goodbyes Left Unsaid

The most painful goodbyes are those

Which were never said and never explained.

The words that could have soothed the blows

Are the ones that leave us feeling drained.

The void that's left within our hearts

Is the one that's hardest to bear.

For when we are torn apart

It becomes too much to bear.

The regrets of things we never did

The words that we never spoke

The feelings that we hid

Will forever be a heavy yoke.

The thoughts that keep us up at night

The ones that haunt us till daybreak

The things that never seemed quite right

Are the ones that make our hearts ache.

We replay events in our heads

Hoping for a different ending

But life's journey has many threads

And sometimes relationships need mending.

The love that we shared

Now feels like it's lost

But the memory will be spared

At least at some cost.

We try to move forward with grace

But the past is still weighing us down.

We feel like we're in a race

And we're always left out of town.

We wonder what could have been

If we'd just said goodbye

Would our hearts still be broken

Would we still wonder why?

We'll never know the answers

To the questions that linger on

But we'll try to take our chances

Hopeful for the chance to be strong.

When we learn to say goodbye

And explain it all too

We find the courage to fly

And start life anew.

We'll take the lessons we've learned

And apply them to life's new page.

Our hearts will no longer yearn

For the love that was once our cage.

Let us say goodbye

With all the grace we can muster

And hold our heads up high

As we journey on further.

The most painful goodbyes are those

That were never said and never explained.

But sometimes it's the only way to grow

And find that strength that remained.
