You Had Me At Goodbye

it's become so very obvious

embarrassingly clear

that i am not the one for you

no, i'm not even near

it's time to slit open my heart

make it devoid of you

once it's clean i'll stitch it back

and it'll beat brand new

i'll bathe my brain in herbal tea

dump ice water on my soul

i'll pick your name out from my teeth

and i'll cover the cavernous holes

the tears about you, i'll cry away

i'll wash them down the drain

i'll cleanse my mind with thunderstorms

and pretend i feel no pain

i'll walk with an unfamiliar strut

a new confidence and new vibe

until i remember you again

oh, you had me at 'goodbye'

-l.r.

I liked the theme ... the formation of stanzas's wonderful. Very beautiful poem but the wrench of love made this poem much heartfelt.
