kiss me goodbye

love is as ephemeral 
as kisses
it takes lots 
of them 
to grow
yeah, I'm hurt
you're mean
all good
we were only an illusion
caught in feelings
never to materialize
it hurts that I 
felt feelings for
your illusion 
(someone else's
flesh and blood
but MY illusion)
you leave your screen 
and go home to
the flesh and blood
that does not satisfy
and it hurts
how much more
would it hurt
to kiss me
goodbye
