Goodbye

Quietly I slip away, and you don’t even notice.

My voice silent as my soul screams in desperation for you to hear.

You turn and smile, a flicker of hope.

You look into my eyes...

“Please, oh please! Don’t turn away. Don’t...”

Too late, you’re gone.

If I could die I would,

In fact I did.

For as much that you don’t know me,

I don’t even know myself.

For as little as you understand,

I understand even less.

I miss me…        

I think.

Was I ..

Was I happy?

Was I even me to begin with?

Why would I rather be here,

in pain,

with you,

than simply being by myself?

How bad could it be?

No, no! I must stop.

Not how bad could it be, but,

how wonderful could it be?

How magical, how beautiful, how...

How do I start?
 

Good-bye.

I love you....

I think.
