Goodbye

your words ring in my ears
like a half-remembered dream
racing through my mind
like pleading screams
i miss you more than i know how to say.
your back is already turning away
my mouth is dry
as i fumble for the words
"please stay".
But all i can do
is sit there and sigh
as you say indifferently
"well, we gave it a try"
who knew something
soo good
could hurt so much.
who knew
of your poisonous touch.
One last time
you press your lips to mine.
now you're leaving
and its all i have
to stop from crying.
my lips part
just in time to whisper
one last
raspy
"goodbye".
