Every final goodbye is a killing

[▶]

Every final goodbye is a killing Even when one softens the blow The kindness you showed me at leaving Is nothing to those in the know

Since there’s nothing left for the future Just another door closed with a slam Soft words are all empty and heartless A deflection, a lie and a sham

And I don’t understand all the anger Surrounding my deeds and my acts When all that I said was just what I felt And all that I did was react

But that’s just not enough for you, is it? I say the wrong thing and you’re gone No discussion, no wisdom, no patience Just anger, goodbye and we’re done
