and this is called goodbye

by c h an e l - Virgo

behind thick plated glass
i raise my hand in a desperate attempt
to understand the the man
that lays beyond my reach

minutes go by and your face holds no expression
at lightening speed my fists frantically pound
violently shaking and eventually cracking
the clear wall that seperates us
young to old
hate to love
honesty to lies
are now floating to the surface
completely unhidden from your view
and you continue to look beyond me
searching for another soul
more compatible to your own
my shrieks of pain and calls of no
the sound of digging nails clawing into that thick ice
no longer penetrate any living source inside you
my face pressed up against the glass
heavily breathing, making fog
trying to hear the words you mouth

"and this is called goodbye chanel."

and you tore out my heart
 carried it under your arm in velvet black sack
lit it on fire
and you walked away
faster than you ever came into my life
and i now know
what a real goodbye
really does




Reason for writing:

    the most painful day ive ever known...
as the mascara ran down my face..leaving thick black lines of diminished pride..i wiped them away and applied a new coat.. i loved him.
