Sayonara

I've participated

Long enough

In this charade

Killing myself

For a measly dime

Of your time

That you oftentimes

Felt too great a task

To deliver on schedule

While I wait

Counting minutes

Lost to my past

Ages flying fast

Life carrying on

Without my attendance

Missing in action

Absent without an excuse

Yourself

Happy as a clam

While eating cake

Not giving a damn

As it sits prettily

On ice

Frozen

In its little box

Protected from the

Elements

But unknown

Inside a storm

Brews in a cup of tea

Growing immensely

Insurgent

No longer containable

An explosion

Of controlled madness

Erupts from within

'Sayonara motherfucker!'
