The End of Me
“Goodnight,” you murmured
“Goodbye,” I whispered.
as you held my eyes
feeling hollow and numb
with your soothing cool ones
knowing that after I’m gone
and you kissed me slowly
you’ll have no problem forgetting
so I would never forget
and finding someone better than me
how comfortable I made you
to call your own
and how happy you were now
and to love unconditionally.
that I’m finally better,
I knew my time was up,
and standing on my feet.
and my days were numbered.
But I didn’t notice.
But you didn’t notice.
