GOODBYE BAD

 

It hurts

Like a needle and thread hurt broken skin

It hurts

When two souls separate, worn too thin

It hurts

When words stop flowing with faded grins

It hurts

When all that’s left are wounds to mend

 

“You could duct tape my mouth shut, and I’d still talk too much. I talk with my hands, so you have to listen hard to hear me. You’ll hear my flattering words when you see me clap. Hello and goodbye are the same word, in the language of the hand. When I talk with my hands, I might be agreeable and say “Ok.” Or I might be calling you an asshole. But let’s face it, I am agreeable, and you are an asshole.”
