Goodbye
You know
I don't hate you
I don't even come close
The only emotions I feel
Are confusion
and a little bitterness
I can't understand what happened
why you walked away
And most of all,
why you didn't say goodbye
in a way that was clear
A defined moment would have made
it all easier
A line where I could say
This is where we were together
And this is where we were not
then perhaps I would understand
Instead it just faded away
I thought we were doing great
but you disappeared
Your voice, your face
no longer part of my life
You turned your back
and broke the bond that
held you and I together
And you didn't bother
telling me.
