Goodbyes hurt

Goodbyes hurt
I knew it was coming
But still I wasn’t ready
I can’t say the things I want to say
My best friends are going to Australia.
to India and me to Switzerland.
I know I will never see my friends again.
Tears come, can’t hold them back
My heart hurts, I can’t sleep.
I feel like numbing the pain,
but there is no anesthesia strong enough.
There are no words that comfort me
There are no songs that reach me.
I’m alone
in the end,
Always alone
I hate this lifestyle, I hate saying goodbye.

    Yes indeed, I hate saying goodbye. I am a such emotional person and I always cried so much when i left a place. But I alway hid my tears because I was told not to cry when I was little. I always have so much greive when I left a place. I always find a quiet place and just let my tears go as much as it can.

    Then I still need to move on. Move to next place.
  • the poem touched the deepest emotions in my heart
    splits, separations, moving on... i think at times what seems to have been normal in my life have moved on too fast...too fast for me to process and who knows...i am probably still processing what happened many years ago.

    Good point, inigo. You can't fully experience a culture and learn it from a book.

    As is everything in life... As TCK's we have loads of advantages but we also have a great disadvantage and that is having to say goodbye or always living in the state of having the knowledge that we are eventually going to leave... not mattering what happens socially... but I would not give up my life as a TCK for anything because it has taught me more than that which you can learn in books!!!

    Lillian,

    Good to see you here! What you had to say was very poignant for me - goodbye's are not an easy experience to *keep* having to go through!

  • Charm, I think farewells are really the worst part of the TCK lifestyle ..

    I love this, it really rings true for me. It mostly reminds me of high school when I had a really tight group of TCK friends and pretty much everyone but 2 girls split off and went to different countries, including me for a while.
