Goodbye. You're still here?

I said goodbye.

I tried to.

You stayed.

In pictures.

In thoughts.

In my heart.


I said goodbye.

It was a vain attempt.

You didn't move.

Still in dreams.

Still in nightmares.

Still on Earth.


I said goodbye.

I endeavoured to.

But you lived rent free in my mind.


Your voice still echoes.

Your face still flashes.

Your scent still lingers.

Your touch still remains.


I told you to leave,

But you stayed.
