Goodbye is shivering out in the cold as you take in the last scene <br />Goodbye is the last call music meant for her as she is meant for him <br />Goodbye ran out of change <br /> <br />Goodbye is the holding out on getting a cellphone <br />Goodbye is 'Hello' crossdressing <br />Goodbye is what remains despite blackouts, new haircuts, new girls and hidden scars <br /> <br />Goodbye is the lonely and lovely sound of her car as it regrettably merges with a smaller and smaller horizon <br />Goodbye is the jetstreams of lost loves <br />Goodbye is the metallic sound of her name said by strangers in airport intercoms <br /> <br />Goodbye goes home alone to a television with knobs, a ratty ol cat left in the dark, and a tepid can of beer labled November <br />Goodbye left you out on her secrets <br />Goodbye is to blame <br /> <br />Goodbye is bomb <br />Goodbye gets played over and over on an answering machine you purchased second hand <br />Goodbye may not be ready but there is no alternative this time <br />Goodbye is Antartica.<br /><br />Blaine Reilly<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/g-o-o-d-b-y-e/
