Smile Goodbye
by Rich Parker
I relax my hand
and you slip away
the feel of your touch
remains with me
Thoughts of your angst
turn to memories of smiles
forget your anger
remember the gentle hugs
Let go of the pain
and it will not hurt you
remember my smile
and how I loved you
Look to the new day
put me in a safe place
and take me out
when you need my smile
