The Sweetest Goodbye
It’s over
Finally done with
No more stale hellos
No more shrinking myself for the sake of your largeness
No more blinding light from your bright ideas
I have ideas too
And they are bigger than your voice will ever be
Brighter than the light of a thousand suns
I have dreams, you see
Dreams that cradle me at night better than your arms
Wants that fit on my tongue finer than your name
Or your wants or your empty aspirations
My ideas could devour yours and still feel hunger claw at their stomachs
“Good bye.”
Those two words never tasted so sweet.
“Good bye, good bye, good bye.”
I don’t want to hear your pleas of second chances when your fourth has come and gone
You’ve stolen enough of my time from me
Now I am taking every second back from your greedy hands
And I won’t use my largeness to make others feel small
I will wrap them in my intentions to keep them warm as they sprout their own
I will lift them up high and bathe in their star-light
While you will be stuck in the lonely starless nights of your wants
Good bye.
There is no sorrow in our parting; only sweetness.
