hello. goodbye.

hello.
goodbye.
this time i sit and wonder
how things might have been

if you had stayed and i had left
ambient music playing my exit song
a slow, soft wave goodbye
and you fall

a recession
into a beautiful space,
of time at a standstill
and azure dissonance

and still i fall
making my cameo
because i cannot stay away
mind craving the torment

heart hungers for comfort
yet i don’t allow such things
your silence is loud
in my head

but you
you lay across me
the weight of your heart
bringing such ease

the words, those words
leave your lips
i breathe them in,
consuming your thoughts

i extend my hand
my soul comfortably sitting in it
waiting for you
to reach back
