Goodbye

Goodbye
One word
two syllables
seven letters
hard to say and hard to hear
but it is better than silence
it's better than nothing at all
it's better than never knowing
it's better than wondering
it's better than trying
to find a way to make someone say something
instead of simply disappearing
without a trace
one word
two syllables
seven letters
it only takes a second to say
but it often takes forever to say it
some never say it at all
they just simply go away
to leave you wondering
to leave you hanging
to leave you waiting
to leave you hoping
to leave you hurting
to leave you dying
to hear something
Anything...
Even if it is goodbye
