Goodbye

Not a single person

not a single embrace

or a kiss

or even a smile

But that's alright

I have myself

I can kill myself and say goodbye

that should be adequate

But why must I always be the one

that bids thee adieu?

Why must the tears always be

cascading down this weary face?

Why is there no forgiving tone

no note of sympathy

in the cacophony that is your rant

I hate you, you say

Well, I love you

with every ounce of my being

I love you

and I'll never take it back

So why have you retreated

into your cocoon of chaos

your place of desolation

your world without me?

Are you happy?

Are you content?

Are you able to look at yourself

in the mirror and say: that's me?

So go ahead, let the razor fall 

into the sink filled with your blood

and remember who is always there

to hold you back
