I Don't Want To Say Goodbye

Some metals stain your skin
and some people scar your heart-

stitch the words into my throat,
they're piling up and I can't breathe.

Static spans the length of my mind.
                            ---
I'm used to saying goodbye,
kissing your cheek and sending you on your way.
But not like this.
                            ---
I've never been one for begging
but today I almost got down on my knees for you.

I've ruined myself by loving you.
You ruined me by letting me go.
                            ---
If you love something set it free,
if it comes back-

You're never coming back
                            ---
I don't want to say goodbye.
