Goodbye


 

I feel a burning

in my eyes, your voice

continues on. Your words shrinking

me down to nearly nothing 

as you smile  

 

The dam begins to crumble; 

I try my best to hold 

the water in, 

but I can't hide heartbreak. 

 

To your surprise 

my eyes begin to flow;  

they blur, hope warping  

if you care or not.

 

The sun beats down as you laugh 

it off, leaving me chilled.  

 

How are you human?

 

I won't miss or think of you.

I'll go somewhere, 

be someone new

 

So forever goodbye, my dear.
