So please understand

This isn’t just goodbye

This is I hope you burn

Like Hamilton’s letters

A vain buried reference

Lost on your ignorance

Like any thoughts of us

Dug down six feet under

Where your only company

Is the ghost of you

Or of me

Of some chiseled empty corpse

You found hollow solace in

I don’t care.

I’d call this closure

If I thought it was deserved

Instead, it’s a swift kick

to a black coffin lid

So please understand,

This isn’t just goodbye

This is I can’t stand you.
