this is our goodbye
kiss my fingers
the way you're used to
gentle
a smile
against the tips
barely there

this is our goodbye
hold me
in safety
about to stand from a fall
that made the stars
fall
and burn
our eyes

this is our goodbye
whisper
into my hair
how much you want me
everything you're going to do to me
send shivers
up my spine

this is our goodbye
do everything
you murmured
into my ear
underneath the black
filling
sky

this is our goodbye
our love
ending
with the absence
of the word
rhyming with never

this is our goodbye
i don't suppose
that i should have
loved you
