Goodbyes
Goodbyes
Are simply
Conversations
That don't end anything
Only signal shifts
Remembrances shared
And formed apart
Haunt through devices
Preventing us
From saying goodbye
Farewells
To phases, not faces
Images linger on screens
Mere keystrokes
Away from closure

"Farewels to phases, not faces."
That's it right there.*
That's the biggest point in my mind, too. Thanks for the feedback :)
It's beyond strange to think of people 2000 years from now viewing videos of their ancestors on Youtube.
Especially like the closing stanza. Frighteningly real. Not sold on "linger" though. Good poem, Emily.
Nice work.*
Last stanza--chilling. *
Thanks, all, for the thoughtful feedback. :)
