Excuses

A poem/song.

I am not good with goodbyes.
My stomach aches,
and I start to cry.
I'd really rather say hello,
because that's not as hard,
I didn't even send a goodbye card.
I may be tough, but I still have tears,
I open up, all of my fears,
because I don't want to let you go,
I'd much rather say hello. echo-Hello, hello.
Just one more tim e.   (Some piano rhythm right there. Like, bumbumbumbum.)
    whisper Please
                       don't
                           leave.
  123123123123123123   cease piano rhythm, get some lighter guitar strumming.

    I want more than this.
    There wasn't even a goodbye kiss.
Maybe it wasn't meant to be,
but I know it wasn't just me,
in this  relationship.
Maybe it was some schoolgirl fantasy,
to think that it could be you and me,
but all we seem to do is complain,
about how we fight again and again. Draw out the last 'again'.

    Chorus beat
I may be tough, but I still have tears,
I open up, all of my fears,
because I don't want to let you go,
I'd much rather say hello.
Just one more time.  <<forceful on time.

  Oh, please just go.
 I don't want to see your face anymore,
Come on then, there's the door.
Your time is up, I can't stand you being here,
my heart is just starting to tear
in half.
Don't come back.
   piano-bumbubmbubmbubmbubmbbumbumbubm. Slowly fades...and stops.

A great poem. I didn't always get it, but it was well-written. Loved it.
