Goodbyes

The disgust on your face says it all... My mere breathing upsets you so... Your obvious loathing cannot be hidden, I want to stay but you want me to go... That raging river beneath our bridge has washed away all your love... Just a sludge of hatred remains both below and above... I've done too much now and there's nothing I can say... Your hate has become indifference, and no penance can I pay... If I left tomorrow there would be no tears in your eyes... The relief of my absence would break the bonds and sever ties... Over time you will forget me, for I am a regret and a mistake... You'll say goodbye without a hug, a kiss, or even a handshake...
