Goodbye

•
I breathe in the stale air of yesterday.
The world spins and sways to hurried breaths
And somehow my thoughts are of you again.
I don’t feel the way I used to feel,
With every fibre and every inch.
Somedays I rarely feel.
I don’t know you anymore,
As you don’t know me.
The months apart have been so vast-
Erosion and sunlight broke me completely.
Broken apart, my lungs breathe life
In two different beings within one.
Where do they meet, who knows?
I know I don’t mean a sigh to you
When you had at some point meant a sentence to me.
All is fine, and all happens for the best.
But I have lost the ability to feel-
The rightness and surety of me and my people..
We all leave
We do.
And I wouldn’t mind a goodbye.
