goodbye my dude.
what’s something to write about
idk how to write
what do i do
write about love?
cliche
unrequited love?
even more so
what do i write about
goddammit
do i write about pain?
rebelion?
dreams?
spirits?
it’s all been done
and is all being done
what’s the point in writing a poem
if everything has already been written
i need a muse
you were my muse
you are my muse
and will be until further notice
i’d like you to quit
i won’t even make you wait two weeks
just go now
so i don’t have to do the same thing
so i’m not the same bullshit writer
as literally everyone else
please go
out of my head
out of my way
out of my life
wait
you can’t
wait
you’re leaving
no no no
come back
please come again
i’ll walk i’ll run i’ll crawl
just please stay right there
you don’t even have to move
i’m sorry i told you to go
i really really am
you must believe me
i mean, i guess you don’t have to
i’m not going to attempt mind control
like others in your life
wait wait no
i didn’t mean it that way
my words are just scrambled
just like you like your eggs
is it cheesy i said that
is it creepy i know that
maybe so
i’m afraid so
oh
oH
OH my gosh
that’s right
step
just step towards me
inch my inch
centimeter by centimeter if you have to
it might take longer though
please
please
come my way
that’s it- that’s it
my god my love my hero
you’re almost here
i can taste your breathe
i can feel your sweat
i can hear your-
oh?
what?
oh-
oh sorry-
yeah
i can move
i’m sorry
yeah, just give me a sec
i’ll pack up my stu-
oh yeah or just step over
step on top of
whatever is easier
behind me
i can hear it now
feeling your laugh from miles away
knowing when you grin
understanding when you are at peace
i can feel it in the universe
it’s faded now, that feeling
you are too far now
i should have expected that
i never thought i could abandon my body
but you taught me anything can leave anyone
enjoy your life
no really- i hope he makes you happy
i hope other things too
but i don’t think those things would matter to you
that’s okay
they shouldn’t anyway
goodbye my muse
i guess i’ll-
what, no no i said
um
i said
goodbye my-
…
dude.
ya.
dude.
goodbye my dude.
