Not Hard Goodbye

You start the engine 

And my heart sinks low

Finally the plates get smaller

And go

 

My bedroom sheets still smell with your cologne 

But my pain blends well

With the unknown 

 

Your cup, lost book , one sock

All rest in peace

In that one last box 

​

I wrap pink ribbon over this award

Sender unknown

Never return  

 

Picture frame stands proud 

And empty 

Memories and pain in the flames 

Smoke softly

Carries the remains

 

He’s at my door 

I can smell her perfume 

His voice

The lies

Jump so out of tune 

With heart 

 

I see you 

And I even smile 

I whisper in my mind: 

The biggest step I ever took 

Was one I took back

From you 

 

My sheets are crispy fresh

Solace sleeps in my bed 

My heart blends well 

With my happy end ..
