Goodbyes
i tripped on the laces of the sad in your eyes,
like you were to tie a knot without my hands-
you were becoming…
did you know?
a sight too beautiful for the gods
but you ran wild in the forest
with none to tame,
the odds of you remembering your name
are as slim as the bare waist you wear-
needing and feeding what once was there
i step on the waste on the green of your lawn,
struggle to spread the filth toward the horizon
so that you could finally be free from dirt's debris
you wept with passion,
raging in visceral fear of losing again,
like you were to ignite fire without flame;
time feels abandoned when nowhere
is where your life is leading-
for your mistakes keep repeating
you make enemies,
you make allies;
you took me
to
your five thousandth war-
forgotten on the front line up to your door
“she laughs, she cries---”
no more last-minute
lullabies-
only
solitude...
and
sad
GOODBYES
