I’m saying goodbye
To the part of my sad life
That stops me growing

The Family Stone
The Family Stone
Mother and father
Side by side
Watching the ship
Slowly disappear
Oh how they cried
Young son looking on
Not yet understanding
The pain they endured
Saying goodbye is hard
When you are left standing
The family dog
Oblivious to it all
Sits patiently by
his young master
Waiting for his call
Undoubtedly they will
be here again one day
When son number two
Grows up to be a man
And he too will sail a way

In response to Helene Vaillant’s What do you see? Photo/Write Challenge
Complication
Complication
You never told me
How could this happen?
I feel kicked in the stomach
The hurt is more than you can imagine
I am betrayed by you
You have been living a lie
What was supposed to be
Will never come, so its goodbye
We spoke of love
Our future was mapped
I had started to believe
But you say you felt trapped
What is wrong with you?
That you could not explain
Your words lacking commitment
Have caused so much pain
Yes it is a Complication
What a word you have chosen
So carelessly delivered
I am left a woman broken
Go on your way I say
We have nothing left in common
Take with you your lies
You will be easily forgotten
Christine Bolton
