Goodbye!

She demanded  
"Hang up the phone  
Let go of the chord  
stretched out between us  
Let the connection be lost over the line  
That has been crossed more often than you want to know  
Say goodbye and press end one last time  
There is no one on this end of the call"  
You placed so long ago you can't remember the sound  
That once made your heart race and your ears vibrate  
Pulsing with the beat she tapped into your mind  
The look in her eyes when she lay next to you  
A distant memory that lingers in the darkness  
When all there was left to say was goodbye  
And you could not pull the words out through your teeth  
Then you could not hang up to hear her voice no more  
Her final act was to cut the line like she did your throat  
That would not let you speak the words she begged you to say  
So now forever in your mind her last word echos, goodbye
