Within My Goodbye

Within my goodbye laid a fragment, A grey-blue wildflower Plucked from my being, From the endless blossoming fields You helped me grow. Within my goodbye was a piece of me. You walked away with it clutched tightly In your fist, And I knew then that something was missing Something was stolen. And I'd never get it back.
