What a Waste

goodbye you said to me like
it was nothing- goodbye i say
to you because it is nothing.
no worries, i got it covered, i
took control & left them all
smothered, sprawled in the
hall. i stole these words from
your language, respoke, taken
lightly (just a joke) i can't see
through all the smoke; can't seem
to forget what brought me here
in the first place. what a waste
everyone says, monotone &
dull, everyone expected i 
would get infected- upon 
disease, i surrender, fall to my
knees & quiver. goodbye you
said to me like it was nothing-
goodbye i say to you because 
it is nothing.
