The Goodbye Look


The Dan talked about it, they even wrote a song,

how things got so messed up, she finally said so long,

you just had to test the waters, had to push the edge,

now your standing all alone, out there on that ledge


you promised her a wine and dine, then forgot to call,

you said that you were detained, down at City Hall,

some mix up, some sort of gaffe, you were not to blame,

why did you not dial me up, if this is what you claim


she checked it out, she caught you flat, your pathetic lies,

disgust and disappointment, laser beams from her blue eyes,

there is no way to misread, those daggers that you took,

I believe you just got, what's known as, The Goodbye Look


You said you did not know that girl, just helped her find her way,

but you were seen at her locker, seven times today,

it wasn't you is what you said, must be some mistake,

you weren't even there today, you were at the lake


she checked it out, she caught you flat, your pathetic lies,

disgust and disappointment, lasers from her blue eyes,

there is no way to misread, those daggers that you took,

I know you just got, what's known as, The Goodbye Look

This is so creative! It reads almost like lyrics to a song... Flowing easily into each and every line, with a fantastic plot and a great rhythm. Thank you, I loved it!
