Bittersweet

Last night
you said you missed me
but you didn’t kiss me,
you kissed her,
and that’s how I learned:
every word you ever spoke
was a lie.
Yet you still try
your barrage of rehearsed excuses -
may as well speak to a brick wall.
That is clearly all
you took me for all along,
and from now on,
your tears should find a different shoulder,
your worries a different ear.
And if ever you see me near…
your eyes can follow me,
as I cross to the other side,
and turn the nearest corner.
This is my last goodbye.
