The ones we say goodbye to
Are the ones who never leave us.
The presence stays
Long after physical remnants have decayed.
For a short while
We convince ourselves
Our hearts no longer beats
For the one who broke it
But after some time has passed
We look down into the lies
We tell ourselves at night
and find irrefutable light
Shining on the very truth
That we are always indebted to
the thieves who broke into our rib cage
Shattered the bones
In the middle of the night
And stole into the night
With the place where love is held.
