No!
No. You are never alone,
though you might think
yourself so.

Someone sings a song
to your soul
complete —
you just haven’t heard it yet.

Open
your goddamn ears
and hear it.

Goodbye is a whisper
regret leaves as a calling card.

It’s a word I’ve never said to you.
It’s a word I never will.
I’ll say “fuck off” first.

I’ll bid you good day,
but never —
never
ever
goodbye.
