Goodbye

I always knew the moment
Would come

When the facade
Of happiness
Would no longer be enough

That I could
No longer turn a blind eye

I realize
I made a choice
One I’ve always known
I would make

I’d have to let you go

Now
I finally am

In time
Logic will bring comfort

For now
I carry
The ache of loss
The sting of finality

The heavy weight
Of knowing
Something once good is gone

The only words left to say

Goodbye
