So I hear
The same hollow ring again
And as the knife drops
To the ground, I know
There is nothing
That will repair
It’s gash in my faith
And I hope it’s a lie
But my sinking heart
Tells me it’s not
And I don’t have anything to say
I just smile with the same old lips
As I turn around and lock the door
Forever
Because a very broken part of me
Wants you to try, anyway
The petals I thought you cherished
Of a newfound, delicate love
Have shrivelled up
And died, by now — of indifference
Don’t come back
Because this doesn’t feel right anymore
So, goodbye
Someone who came knocking
Dashing into my life
Goodbye to your faithless smile
Goodbye to what I thought
Was destined to be ours
Goodbye to the mirage of luck
That is never quite mine
Goodbye, in every way
It’s all I have left
To give to you
Because the poison you leave
I absorb silently, Like an alchemist
But the gold will be mine alone
Though I made it for us
Goodbye.
