The Final Farewell

Posted by Terrence Johnson

I kneel to the ground to place my flower
On the site where our last memories lie
Never did I imagine this would happen
To close this painful chapter, I examine the casket
I feel that my identity is altered, my future changed
All alone is how I feel

Flashbacks come to mind as I stand in reflection
The trips we had, the times we shared
The laughst and our own secret language
The picutre of perfection, the standard for all others
We were a perfect fit to a puzzle that was complete
I smile as I think about how things used to be

Though I hurt, I am also comforted
Somethings last for a season and the time has come for change
No one to blame, this is how things have to be
Freed from the baggage with no more pain
I have survived the divorce of my family
R.I.P., Till we meet again....
