One Day

I always knew it was a lie,
that there was no

good in goodbye,

how could there be any good
in having to leave
something

that was a part of you.

No matter if it were for the best,
I still felt like a piece

of my heart was being ripped
straight out of my body.

How could that be good for anyone?

It couldn't.

My screams would rip through my
vocal chords,
bleeding and the sounds of popping
Would make my ears cry in tuneless whispers.

That kind of pain is better than the one

of the drowning loneliness
I am bound to gasp and wail against,
only to grow tired and give in

to its waves one day.

One day.

How I dread that day.

"One day," I tell myself, "one day".
