I glanced at him one very last time as I walked away
His eyes full of anger and sadness
They looked like fire and ice
It pierced me like a keen knife

I whispered “goodbye” as I descended my head
He slowly left and we headed our disjointed ways
My life is a maze,I don’t know where to go
The only question, is how do I egress
