How do you say goodbye to someone you can not live without?

she waited
and waited
and waited
to the beep
of her phone
feeling sad
and happy
and nervous
all at once.

she waited
and waited
and waited
til her eyes
had gone to
wonderland.

she waited
and waited
and waited
and died waiting.

Watching
the sun go down
a murky horizon,
I thought,
how sad a thing
farewell is.
How hard it is
to breathe
pressed under
time’s thumb.
Even sadder
is the goodbye
left unspoken.
You sit there
frozen,
like a monument
watching. Helpless.
Your world,
twilight consumes.
Your elixir,
that was love,
is now your poison.

its funny how
desperately
you wanted to
take my heart
away from me
and now you're
just throwing
it away like
your old cds
