Our Last Goodbye
You may have it all,
With your lovely eyes and bashful
smile,
But all of you won't matter in a while.
I've given in to the greater good,
And it's time to let it be understood.
What with broken hearts to spare
We march on in a frenzy.
Too crazed to even feel ashamed.
In the eyes of many we don't relate
As a right, but an inverse with those
bitter glares of envy.
Waiting for the next plane to board,
A lightly packed suit case with a
camera on hanging
behind the mohagony door.
He has it all along with grace and
style,
While I'm left with nothing but a
broken smile.
I watch grounded in all my gallows
as he flies away,
always too soon.
He walks on air and shoots for glory.
Though, I wonder if he'll ever truly notice
the dew drops forming in my eyes..
As I watch him mouth our last
"Goodbye."
