You said goodbye
one last time
and not once did you blink

the words just came out
naturally

i didn't think they were scripted
you didn't spend time thinking of
the right words to say
you just knew what to say
and that it was time for them to be heard

you felt that goodbye was
long overdue

and me...


i've lost count of how many
stars i had cursed
they just somehow lost their spark,
dull in the night sky

it's so funny though,
now that i think about everything,
you'd said goodbye many times before
i didn't see them,
i was blissfully happy = temporarily blind

i should've known...
when you stopped kissing my
forehead when we cuddle on the
couch

when you didn't surprise me with
hugs anymore when i thought
i was alone in the room

when your kisses weren't as long
when your hands didn't feel as warm
when your songs didn't sound as sweet

and i don't know why i never saw this but

your eyes suddenly became silent,
their depth replaced with an empty stare
like something just hit you and
you realized there's nothing there

you just stopped...

and i just b.r.o.k.e down



it's all so funny
and i would just die if i laughed
