Wave Goodbye.


As usual,
tonight
I am there,
with casual fingers coursing through my casual hair.

With nails
being buried
beneath my spine.
Oh, the blackness is sublime (and it's all mine).

And I wonder just where you were,
when the blackness in my head turned upside down.
Oh, the ceilings became the floor (waved goodbye),
and nothing has been the same since then.

I see you turn
away from
me,
and I bear the curse. I bathe my head in treachery

to wash away
the sin
of my pride,
my silent silence (inside). 

And I wonder (with longing hands on my longing head)
oh, what it's like to be a little more together in the head.
I find myself as a supplement,
a sacrifice for a sacrament.
But what my soul was found lacking in:
that was bountiful in you.
