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.
