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 this meanness

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
