GRIEF Poem, by Prisha Rajulapalli

Goodbye Will Never Leave My Lips (24)
No matter what, I will never say goodbye
Goodbye is too final.
Rather I prefer until we meet again.
You’ve taught me everything I know
Knowledge more valuable than gold.
The loss of you is the end of my existence
And the continuation of yours
I’ll spend the rest of my life embodying the person you were
I’ll wrestle you from death’s hands
For just one more moment together
Until you could teach me everything I needed to love and live
The only approval I need is yours.
When I finally have to say “Until we meet again”
I will live looking for you in every moment
Live a life worthy of telling you about
Hoping I could be a sliver of the person you are
But never will goodbye leave my lips.
