Goodbye

Goodbye

By: Anisa Mae Banzuela

Well maybe now I should just say goodbye

You used to be my friend

But I never felt I really was yours

So maybe this is the end

I’m different from you, all of you

With each other we’ve never understand

I hope that if I do tell you goodbye

It won’t be for good.

Whenever I’m mad it hurts me so bad

And you don’t even care

I don’t know why, I just want to cry

And someday I won’t be there.

The streaks on my heart they’ve done so much

But they will surely fade away

And somehow I can forget

If I’m mad at you, I’ll hurt myself too.

But that doesn’t really matter

Although when I hurt I feel like dirt.

I feel bruised and battered

I do not know why it has to be so

I really wish it did not

But the way this been going

You don’t need me and we don’t need us

And that’s how I think I know why

These words are the ones I have to speak

I love you, but goodbye…
