Goodbye and I'm sorry.
I never got to say goodbye
Never got to share my love
I heard you were trying to call for me
I'm sorry I wasn't there
I wasn't there when you most needed me
I lost you there was nothing I could do
If I could only say goodbye
I'm sorry I took so long
If only I had known
I knew you were in pain
Retreating faster day by day
Why oh why did you choose that day
The day I didn't want to go
A blanket of cold and fear encased me
when I heard them say "John just passed away."
I want you to know Dad that I love you
That I miss you
That I'm sorry I wasn't there to say goodbye.
Dear Amanda,
I feel you in this poem. I have to say I feel and felt the exact same way. Your writing is incredible. I love you and I know he forgives you - It's still so hard to believe he is gone - I still feel like he is going to walk through the door anyday! I love you and you are not alone - Love always your lil auntie
Amanda dear,
you really shouldn't blame yourself for it all, really there was nothing you could do. Otherwise this is one of the more moving poems on here, though I think you should include a description of what it is about
