Poetry: Kiss Yourself Goodbye

Kiss this year goodbye

Kiss the ugly truth

and the bitter lie

Kiss your heart goodbye

Kiss the loud laugh

and the silent cry

Kiss your lungs goodbye

Kiss the painful breath

and the blooded sigh

Kiss your head goodbye

Kiss the overthinking

and the wandering eye

Kiss your dreams goodbye

Kiss the numerous failures

and the will to try

Kiss your tears goodbye

Kiss the salty-wet

and the dry

Kiss the death goodbye

Kiss the How?

and the Why?

Kiss yourself goodbye

Kiss the young age

and the dream to fly
