In Your Goodbye


Taken apart and timeless
I am
Deconstructing to nothings
And extents I've never been

Parts of these deserts are beaches
Where my words shine like souls
When that chalice won't reach your lips
Your mouth feels drier than before

Where were you hiding
All the love in your goodbye?

We were not built
To bear each other miracles
But our journey stretches back
From this inevitable end

We can see it clear
Like a brilliant glowing thread
Sewing up a universe otherwise
Lonely and indifferent

Where were you hiding
All the love in your goodbye?

I know your heart feels
Heavy
As you shine it for someone new that
Shows you it is gold and not lead

And our pains will be ecstasies
In the end, when happiness finds us
Separate
