You never said you’d stay forever

How hard can it be to say “goodbye”?

Far more difficult than any could imagine, methinks, or so it is for me.

What difficult words ‘good’ and ‘bye’ can be when combined in a single sentiment.  What troubling, distressful, difficult appendages of grammar they become.  Like heavy weights the very idea of them rests upon me.

Yet through their collective piercing of my heart I realize the pain is mine to bear.

Not once did you promise that rash and oft broken vow of forever.  Not once, mind you.

Why then do I feel so betrayed?
