"Goodbye & Good luck": A Divorce Song


I wrote this a few years ago while going through an awful divorce.  It's a poem, yet intended to be lyrics for a song I have yet to compose.



GOODBYE AND GOOD LUCK


It's amazing, it's incredible
How and why it's come to this
This blazing, this indelible
            Ink spot I won't miss........or will I?

Who are you, who were you?
Why did I turn and close my eyes?
Through my love drunk window I accepted the view
            So, it's really no surprise

            Goodbye and good luck
            You'll need it my dear
            I don't really give a fuck
                        Because my conscience is clear........or is it?

            Goodbye and good luck
            What comes around goes around
            How does it feel to be abandoned, stuck
                        In solitude, your cowardly head stuck in the ground
                                    Wondering if you'll ever be found...

It's amazing, it's incredible
How and why it's come to pass
I've gained clarity, you're so readable
This drama will be my last.

Who are you, who were you?
I knew it wouldn't last
The clues the clues, OH, those obvious clues
I'll heal, I'll move on and, I’ll put this in the past

            Goodbye and good luck
            Thank God, it's truly the end
            Still, each feather you pluck from me
                        Is painful, I cringe, but I won't bend
                                    Unto you my darling, this message I send.......or will I?

Goodbye and good luck
You'll need it, you'll see
Crawling out of this mire, this muck
Out from you and me.
