RDP Sunday —EXIT

There are so many ways to say goodbye,

to say I never want to see you again

to slam a door and shut

with so much force the frame cracks

 

There are so many ways

to scream a curse

utter a prayer

with a smile and little wink

 

There are so many ways

to be brutal and coarse

mean and vindictive

choose one, choose them all

 

it doesn’t matter anymore

you are now and forever shall be

trapped in that empty room

inside of your skull.
