I’ll cry when I say goodbye

I’ll cry when I say goodbye

I cannot manage smiling

Smiling’s overrated and the world is sated

With pearly whites at funerals. 

Let’s allow ourselves a frown

When feeling down when saying bye

It’s not all bad to be feeling sad

When people leave our homes and lives. 

Maybe I’m mad, but you’re surely not glad

I’m leaving now and the future’s

Never sure or steady
