Goodbye? Sharp Disappearance.
Wind whips
Rocking the frame of this
Automobile
More stable than my loosely
Structured clatter of bones outlining
Twisted organs including a barely palpitating heart.
I don't know how to say goodbye.
Smoothly said
Syllables exit your parted
Lips
A current so intense that it breaks
Me from shore; leaves me wading
And waiting and weighing your character
I don't know how to think.
Abrupt absence.
You've become a mere
Ghost
Feeding my insomnia, strengthening
My attention span, spotlight on your
Blank expression, like you don't know me
I do know how to cry.
Complicated conclusions
Was I better off not ever knowing
You?
You constantly built me up on
Empty compliments, hollow promises,
Just to watch me fall hard, crash and burn...
I do know how to sink.
