You Lost Me At Goodbye
You had me at hello..
Your sweet choice
But infinitesimal amount
Of words
Was enough to brighten my day
In even the darkest
Of nights.
Your word always seemed
Close to the impeccable
And even brighter
Than the very source
Of life, light, and heat
That protects
Our planet earth
No other word
From no other person
Could touch or
Even come close to touching
The level of happiness
That your one word
Has blessed me with
I assumed your presence
Would last forever..
That it would stay
And forever live
In the cold, Dark corners
Of that cell I call
A heart.
And i tried to use
Any and everything
Of good will that
You would throw my may
To feed the hunger of passion
And the bitter taste
Of emptiness
But I overlooked
The intensity
Of my own heart's pain..
Which was a pain
That not even your word
Could withstand
Or at least not alone.
At least not alone...
The other word was cruel
And unbearable
To live with..
Surprisingly bleak
And with an immaculate
Amount of sorrow.
Admiration
And dedication
Were driven at least
Ten miles away from
That sweet,
And succulent
Sensation
Like i was sentenced
To carry the world
Off and away from
The shoulders
The backs
And the necks
Of all mankind
The other word
Cursed me with
Everlasting visions
Of love slowly
But steadily
Disappearing from
My body
It cursed me with
Visions of each teardrop
That my dry eyes
Would attempt to shed
But fail to do so
Each time
They tried
It cursed me with
Visions of my very life
And my dying soul
Being pulled
From any tear that
Could actually shed
From my eyes
And when those tears
Actually fell,
They somehow
Managed to disappear
Right before they
Hit the ground
So i could never see them
I tried to ask myself
"Why leave this way?"
"Why keep me in pain?"
"Why make me suffer?"
"Why let my heart cry?"
"Why let my thoughts deteriorate?"
But all in vain
That word made my day
Worse than I could've
Ever imagined..
I felt We wouldn't be,
That we couldn't be,
That you would become lost
In the void of Revolution..
That word stained my mind
With an uncertain thought
And left me in
An unsustained, unhappy state
That only the other word
Had a possibility
To heal
The first word was hello
And the second, goodbye...
You lost me at goodbye..
