The word still hangs
Lifeless
Void of any color
Shape or substance
Just an echo
A passing thought
as you turn away
Did I not love you strong enough
Long enough
Did you doubt sincerity
For I know those words
I said them over and over
I love you
But still
As you walk away
A wisp of hair
on your collar
A wrenching reminder
And as the distance
grows between us, I wait
Hoping
Praying
That you care enough to turn
To see me one more time
See my tears
That they may move you
Pull you back to me
But you have walked so far
Not once turning around
Not seeing these tears
Unmoved
Now...
Not even an echo of your words
It truly is...
Goodbye
