Imminent Departure
The damage is done
Nobody has won
Whenever we try to hurt
The words that we say
They get in the way
No issue left to then skirt
We have yelled what we felt
We have maliciously said
We had hoped it would help
But it hurt us instead

Where have the birds gone…
That used to sing
That used to be on each tree
As we walked by
Where have the flowers sprung
That used to be seen
All symbols of love
Seem to have died
“*************
***************
***************
But it’s come to this now
We can’t go in reverse
Life is altered for good
Not for better, but worse
So, so long
