“Goodbye” can be so heartless
Loneliness is never fun, but cruel
But at least “goodbye” is honest
and you know what to feel
Walk away and live your life
Or drown your sorrows in a bloody nose,
filled with a dust-covered straw
But you KNOW
“Hello”
Is what you should look out for
Meeting her for the first time
And you’re not smart enough to investigate
that inviting smile
Led by desire
Trapped by fear of “goodbye”
And eventually
Crushed by the brick wall at the end of the tunnel
Yes, “hello” is the sneaky one
The seductress with limited charm
Who masks unlimited pain
I’m ready for “goodbye”, but
Will I be ready for
The next
Hello?
