GOODBYE

i thought i could
take just about
anything
-that your leaving
would cause me
no pain.
but then i saw
you
and my mask of
indifference
was so rudely
torn away.
silly of me
to think that i
could not be
humbled.
silly of me
to think that i
could conquer these
tears.
you know
this is not the way
i had planned it.
our story was supposed to
have a happy ending
-but now you're gone.
