My Goodbye

My goodbye will never come
For my heart has warned each lung
That they must not blow the air
Up my throat, over my tongue

And past my teeth and lips
To form a reckless lie;
They've sworn an oath, they've made a pact
They will never say goodbye

They won't allow a whisper
They won't concede a hum;
They've vowed and they have promised:
My goodbye will never come
