To Say Goodbye
with her
goodbye is a fugitive
whose name
is written in tears
before the final kiss
is pressed into my lips
with her
goodbye is a fugitive
who's escape plan
i'm an accomplice to, of, for
after the deed is done
and the time has come
with her
goodbye's a fugitive
a petty thief
i don't waste time chasing after
or sleuthing in the mystery for, of, to
say goodbye
