Goodbyes made me see


your kisses are what I truly miss

how we would reminisce

wow we were so lucky

when we would lay under the stars

my hand fit in your’s so perfectly

now all I can remember are the scars

how we would fight all night

I would always be the apologizer 

it would be such a fright

every time I saw the investigator 

I would assure him that I fell

but the bruises I attained 

were more than an accident

you were always so confident

I should have restrained 

I should have stayed away

but I had to stay

I couldn't say goodbye

and never asked why

I was scared 

I wasn't prepared 

for all the pain you caused me

but the goodbyes made me see

how cruel you were to me 

remembering that how can it be 

that I’m so lonely
