#thelonggoodbye
can't really reach You
anymore
everything is
disappearing
our old arguments
as well
bits
just drop away
everyday
naked fear left behind
strangling your mind
normality already
a thing of the past
I am not sure
when it happened
crept up slow and stealthy
this drawn out
goodbye
not knowing
when my cameo role
in your heart
will fade away
to nothing

so many tables
stacked with catalogs
and coffee cups
our long discussions
cluttered with memories
and
relatives
long renting spaces
underground
potential plans made
like guest beds in our minds
favorite tv shows
devouring our
afternoons and evenings
together
dotted with
occasional power
struggles
minds at odds
a generational
dissonance
the backdrop
for the need
to leave the nest
again
freedom I sought
and liberty
was gained
now
flash forward
less than a decade
later
and you
are wrapped
in a mere
flesh shell of existence
no longer engaged
in this world
with anything
but breath
and discomfort
thankful
for tender mercies
am I
for you
still remember me
for
now
