So this is goodbye

The desire in the eyes
doesn't transcend
down to lips.
The quiver of fingers
doesn't translate
the fire in my veins.

The moon doesn't wink
at your instance.
The tongue doesn't roll
seamlessly with 
wet verses when you 
cross my mind.

Somewhere, our nest 
feels abandoned.
The ship that was 
supposed to cross the 
seven seas, strands 
in the middle.

The lullabies intended
to you get caught in the 
sneezes to fizzle out.
And with failed will and 
wings, any reciprocation 
from you,
fails to take off.

I have repeatedly tried
to fix this.
But every attempt
is another excuse, that
causes more damage.

it feels hopeless,
I want to give up.
don't know if you'd 
go or try to give this
another chance 
but for now, this is 
goodbye, Moonpie.

Before everything turns 
to ashes, let's part 
on a good note.
if this stands the test
of the times, maybe 
we'll be left with a
a nostalgia we can keep 
coming back.
