Goodbye, Dad
It’s been so many years ago
Yet I’ve held on to this pain
My heart has never fully
Stopped drowning from the rain
I’ve nurtured the tenderness
Kept my emotions on the brink
I never searched for closure
That I knew I should seek
Like an open wound without treatment
I never fully healed
I never cast my feelings
Into some open field
I never said goodbye
Wouldn’t consciously let go
I wouldn’t allow acceptance
To have a chance to grow
But I’m growing older and wiser
Therefore I must allow myself to deal
With all of the emotions
That daily I still feel
I must learn to celebrate your life
Concentrate less on your death
And give my sobbing heart
A little more time to rest
So for this Christmas season
I’m going to say goodbye
Not of your memory
But the things that made me cry
The hurt and the pain
The bruise of my heart
I’m finally letting go
And making a new start
