Goodbye.(M.P.Bridger)


My God, she's saying goodbye.
Soft and gentle feathered words
But it's goodbye all the same.
Can I stop her? Turn her around
With passion's grip on reason?
Or hold her like I did before
In my shiny eyes of love?
Can I entrance once again
With sparkling wit and jokes
She alone laughed at?
No. For she only laughed to please me
Could I stir her dark desires,
Bring back love's Roses to her cheeks
Glowing with furnaced kisses?
No. For she only kissed to please me.
Why does love die? That's the question.
Why can't we be content with love
Instead of beating it to death
After smothering it with lies and abuse?
She still ensnares my senses
With her scent of gentle woman,
She still listens patiently
To my half-baked dreams,
Absorbing them with gentle maternal smiles.
She still holds my heart
And does her best not to drop it.
But lilting sighs and words of comfort spoken
Now strain to reach sincerity.
She still cares for me, I know.
She fears for me too
But my God,
She's saying goodbye.
