Carolyn Brunelle - Bitter Goodbyes

There’s never enough time
To overcome the shadow
Of what has become inevitable.
Veiled within this loving heart;

Hidden in its acceptance,
Lies the hope that someday
My lover’s kiss will be mine
To Hold.

Now, in these bitter partings;
Concealed in sweet embraces,
I feel like the goodbye girl wondering
If I will ever be his homecoming queen.
