As soon as you said “goodbye” 
You put your wall back up. 
I break my nails 
Trying to claw through. 

As soon as you said “goodbye” 
You detached your outward emotions. 
I searched for my needle 
To sew it all back together. 

As soon as you said “goodbye” 
Your cold eyes froze my heart. 
I try to rekindle the flame. 
In an attempt to prevent hypothermia. 

And now, I only listen for “hello” 
In hopes that by goodbye you meant “see you soon.” 
Until then, I’ll hold on. 
And try to warm up to this world again.
