I dare to say the words, Goodbye To one who stands so close Starring at me Continually. I dare to utter the phrase Begone from me, To a heart that beats Lub-dub, lub-dub, In rythm with mine, Attempting to run away Yet clinging closer than my skin. Leave me! The lips speak, actions join in But hearts entangle In an everlasting hug Drawing some unknown strength From each other To carry on Though separated by space And time. A million and one attempts made To sever a bond Created from eternity, Strong resolves made Cast in iron Only to receive a single word And iron melts with intense heat Resolves liquidate, flow away As hearts going in opposite direction At top speed Make a U-turn Return to original space With an immediacy quite alarming. I dare to say goodbye To a heart that was mine From creation itself.
