Space Before Goodbye

There is a space before goodbye.

She led with, "It's your fault"

Then nothing until: "See ya later"

The fact that now he's gone

Rests heavy on my shoulders

Unfiltered blame was spoken

Truth or lie, it can't be unbroken
Words were painfully embedded

The statement cannot be unstated

The possibility of repair

Hangs in a delicate balance

Silent minds are unaware

Of apologies transpired since

All in the space before goodbye.
