Your Word for Goodbye
Folder:
2019 I don’t want to learn
your word for goodbye.
For endings, for after, for
buried beneath.
I want to keep on writing
the good, the things that
don’t mean you will leave me.
I don’t want to learn
your word for again.
I want every moment to just
hang like this,
a cocoon,
its own being,
no front or back
just stay here and stare,
not pretending to be
anything but now.
I don’t want to learn
your word for undo.
No regretting the things that
brought me here.
I will remember
every fight
every whisper
every kiss
no matter which clocks are ticking
no mater how tall we stand
I will sit here,
I will sing,
I will write your name in the water
when it hurts to learn any new languages.
There are too many words for goodbye.
\'There are too many words
\'There are too many words for goodbye.' beautiful and sad
