Goodbyes taste like salt.
Or maybe that’s the tears,
as they run into my mouth.
They burn my eyes,
Burn down my cheeks
As her goodbye burns in my mind.
How do I say it?
Goodbye,
It doesn’t feel right on my lips,
Still I whisper it anyways.
It cuts my tongue
Until I can’t talk.
Tears just run into my open mouth.
Still, it taste like salt.
My lips move, mouthing the word
Goodbye.
It hurts more than I ever thought
