I knew before you opened your mouth

A final farewell

By Marti MaleyPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

i knew before you opened your mouth

truthfully i’ve known for some time

is it odd that i feel proud

to see you finally

step up to the plate?

i know you’re scared

i am, too

farewell

friend

heartbreak
