Goodbye

There are some days when I

Can't seem to sob or cry

Because I've wasted so many tears

On being afraid of facing my fears.

The one thing that I fear the most

Is seeing you, or hearing you, especially

Since I have treated you like a ghost.

My heart can't take the pain anymore,

Not the gasping, the squeezing, or wheezing.

If I don't try to forget what once was,

I will never be able to face what will be.
