This is goodbye

Shell of a man

Stripped of all feeling

Carefully placed right next to you

Saved by your warmth

Heard in the deep end

Softened and buried under skin

Went as it should

Openly healing

At least that was what I hoped to do

How fast that can change

To light came the aching

And far beyond soothing, there we stood

Carried a bag

Heavy as ever

Showed it but yours was hiding still

Up to your head

Flooded by feeling

Something you didn’t think was real

But love was on track

A wholesome obsession

The birth of the monsters in my head

So unaware

Dove in the deep end

I left a life to be with you

This is goodbye

one day I’ll see you

Hopefully soon but now it’s best

That this is goodbye

one day I’ll see you

When all my love has come to pass
