I never got to say goodbye.  I never got to say goodbye.  I never got to say goodbye.
I never got to say goodbye.  I never got to say goodbye.  I never got to say goodbye.
I never got to say goodbye.  I never got to say goodbye.  I never got to say goodbye.
I never got to say goodbye.  I never got to say goodbye.  I never got to say goodbye.
I never got to say goodbye.  I never got to say goodbye.  I never got to say goodbye.
I never got to say goodbye.  I never got to say goodbye.  I never got to say goodbye.

On my knees, falling to the ground, in your arms, screaming,

I never got to say goodbye.
A piece from a larger body of work about the death of my best friend.
She puts it on me
and I being sleepy
don't find that
it's creepy at all.

One of the two

missing you, and
in dreams I am
kissing you,
but the dreams are
just passing through.

blue.

but we all like a
splash of panache
don't we or do we?

she
puts it on me
the life within me
the outside of me
and it's still not creepy,
it's
quite nice actually
wake before you look and never leap unless you have to
Nothing for free here
nothing to see here
move along,
orderly fashion applies,

terms and conditions
like
army munitions
have a habit of
putting you down.

What could it be here
when nothing is free here
can anyone see a
menu?

squinting a bit
to read the rules
and they're ****,
moving on.
Funnily enough
we have to stop
to catch our breath.

In the streets and
it is true
I was at the window
watching you,
I wonder if you knew.

Catching a memory
on a page of my history,
she is still a mystery
to me.

in the still light
when it's still light
before the nighttime
when there's still time,
I have time for one more
look.
Busy days?
not when we're
castaways

you can't talk over each other
when you're on your own
sat at home
with only
the cat for company.

This is where the psychosis
comes in
when we're hypnotised by the
grim times we are living in.

guess what?
I'm going fishin'

It didn't work out well
Don't torture yourself, girl
you say

Those kisses that had nothing inside
we were trying hard to be what we were not
those nights that attempted to be beautiful
at the park
your car redeemed us from that fall
but it didn't take long till reality spoke

that separation - all the things I could not tell you
all the poems you did not feel,
your gentleman words hide emptiness sheer
all the things I couldn't understand
that hopelessness I felt
everynight we met
You were also trying
I was trying to forget

So I'm forgiven, and I'm forgotten
and that's the best thing that could have happened
