It still hurts
To watch a car pull away
Knowing goodbye
as only a months-long chasm,
If luck should strike.
After all these years,
A childhood of summer vacations
At a chaotic second home-ish.

with what was left to scavange.
After being boiled and cut open
And having parts added ad removed
Goodbye burns deeper.
