The Final Goodbye

The final goodbye
Its not a surprise 
I pushed so hard
Saw it happening 
Couldn't stop it
Loathed myself for it

The final goodbye
I thought would hurt more
But it feels self inflicted
Which took the sting
I already felt empty 
Now it feels complete

The final goodbye
They say it's sweet sorrow
Why did I make it bitter 
And the worst part is knowing
If I wound up back there 
I couldn't help it a second time
