Bye forever

 'Bye forever.....'
A rash heartless line.
Uttered by fingertips,
in a silicon fishmarket
where it will stay
for eons.

'....forever.....' ?
as if our future was
a coin merrily thrown
away in the river.
As if all those years
of camaraderie
meant nothing,
nothing at all?

For you, t'was so
easy to say,
as a knife cuts butter,
a molten heart.
And for what? Just
an impersonal jibe?

'Bye forever.....'
I felt as if I was
shoved into a pit,
blindfolded,
hands and feet tied.
A pit, where
I still am.


(Good friends are hard to find. This poem describes the agony felt when a good friend says 'Bye forever...'. Any resemblance to a true incident is purely intended.)
