Analysis of And now it is time to say Goodbye
Watching her go, I had a thought;
Now, this is the end of the end.
Stable but shaken and a bit distraught-
I realized our marraige we failed to mend.
Torn forever
This time.
Better to sever
For lack of rhyme.
Knowing all along
This day would come;
I tried to stay strong,
At least strong to some.
And finally this
In just a blink of an eye,
I blew her a kiss-
And now it is time to say Goodbye.
