Goodbye

I have to say goodbye

to the one who promised

laid down my bones

bare to the ground



All the floors I have crawled,

marks on my knees and hands

a testament of devotion

thinking not to say goodbye



All those blurry nights

stays still in my mind

fuzzy for one more night

yet to let it go



I have to say goodbye

to the one I promised

laid down myself

burnt to the ground



Kneeling down today

I have been shown

where to go – out

saying goodbye
