as far as parting words go
your “good night” hurt the most
exceptional was what it was
marvelous too in every sense of the word
because i,
never heard from you since then
i wonder, did the keys sting enough
to stop you from hitting send?
how could you leave me reeling
from all of these questions
left unanswered
stuck inside my mess of a head?
because i,
never saw it coming
didn’t you see the heartaches
that make up myself
as some beautiful silver lining?
you said all of it has lead me to you
i couldn’t care less if
any of those could be some lie or the truth
because all i know was,
i had you
and from then on i was met
with my ultimate fear
that i had someone to lose—
a perfect part of what has become
a whole of me torn in two
but you didn’t hold back
as far as parting words go
you were certain it pained me enough
to read there is no better goodbye
than leaving me with nothing else to know
as far as parting words go
yours was something
i could never forget
nearly a year has passed
yet you still hold power over me
like some string tied
onto my back called regret
as far as parting words go
i still wish you the best
you’re on the other side of my world now
living as you should
but i hope you still remember
that there was a girl
who once wished for closure
and wanted nothing more but for your return.
