Goodbye Lie

To say Goodbye

Would mean saying Hello

To your life

That has never known me

But one I’ve been apart of

One I helped to save

Yet only you and I know

Know what I did to save you

To open your eyes

To the truth

As painful as it was

Now I stand here in pain

Pain from no goodbye

Just “I’ll be in touch if I can”

But I knew, you knew

It was a lie, that was

Your goodbye

It ended this way before

With no goodbye

Years it took to find it

To find the answers

Bringing you back

Back into my life

But not I into yours

You could not

It would destroy it

Funny that I am the one

The one that saved it

From others you hid

That caused pain I never did

This time

I will seek no goodbye

You’ll stay a ghost

Of my past

A lesson I should have learned

Learned from the first

The first no goodbye

No goodbye the first time

Tells me what I should have known

There should have never been

Another Hello

Another there never will be.
