Goodbye.
Was the last word I heard
Before the flames engulfed
Her life force

Goodbye.
The word is still stale in my mouth
As though it is lethal to those who listen

Goodbye.
A phrase I refuse to admit
For it means I give into death
Into isolation

Goodbye.
The one word I most dread to hear
Until it is time
For me to mouth those words

My voice in a world full of panic (poetry) Where stories live. Discover now
