Goodbye

a new ache

fresh set of tears

a restless heart

a facade of strength

this never gets easier

an old insecurity

abandonment

a past trauma

a dig at your soul

this never heals

another sleepless night

heavy head

sore eyes

not again

resigned fate

get over it

you’ll be fine

this isn’t the end

not even the beginning

everything is a loop

so circular

like your thinking

blurry faces

merging

an old friendship

a new attachment

one and the same

the mind is strange

it will remember

if you

want to forget

like the image

‘a pink elephant’

and then

suddenly

discarding

peeling

gone with the wind

this hurt

this raw feeling

a thing of the past

sifting

shifting

your mind trying

to hold on to

grasp

remember what

it once,

right now,

wants to forget

and

then

one day

not long from now

this goodbye

will be

just

another

incomplete
