Goodbye

63 3 1
                                    

I cover my own arms in black and blue.
You think it's just paint.
I cover my walls in rainbows.
I take them down, they remind me of memories I hate.

I lost a friend today
I miss them.
There's just one thing I wish I could say.
"I wish you weren't gay"

I apologise.
I am in a relationship.
I shouldn't even look at other guys,
But I can't help myself when I see your smile.

I miss you.
I used to paint on FaceTime to you.
And I don't regret it.
And my friends miss you too.

I hang my rainbow on the wall.
But it is soon to fall.
I hate the sadness behind my eyes,
The thought of losing you I despise.

I'm sorry I couldn't say goodbye,
I had tears in my eyes.
I gave you a solemn wave and thumbs up.
So this really is goodbye.
