Hi and Bye

To the man who loved me in life and death,

Long after there were no more breaths,

Thank you,

For being you,

Grumpy and difficult,

But never indifferent,

To showering me with brownies,

And attempting to wipe away my frownies,

We didn't get to say goodbye,

And I've become this person who flings around her byes,

Like loose change,

I'm able to sense when people turn strange,

And to them I say goodbye,

I was married to a great guy once, he's probably in the skies,

Be great,

I don't like to wait,

I have things to do,

Other than trying to fix your internal screws,

After abruptly losing the love of my life, 

My tolerance to strife,

Has gone to zero,

So be a hero,

Or step aside, 

And watch me walk away with pride.
