A Mockingbird
The hardest thing in life
is the last tears we shed
when we say goodbye:
when one is unwillingly
forced to part ways
without wanting to part ways
from the heart, as our eyes sadly cry;
because you’ve held to
this fairytale, this lavender hope
that one day, everything will be okay,
a spurious dream that plays in your head:
when in fact, you’re just being led
into a rabbit hole instead;
so with all your might
let those droplets of tears fall
for the last time
for you’ve got a mockingbird to kill
knowing in the end, goodbye is inevitable
and a necessary evil.
