are
a cinematic con-
struct.
Rick and Ilsa,
Romeo and Juliet—
call them war-torn,
hail them star-crossed,
but don't expect
their good
byes.
A slammed door;
a flatlined heart;
a suicide note
—these
are the byes
we know.

I really dig the enjambment, but also the overall message here. You bring up a good point. Good byes are always these abrupt actions in film and story and never actually just goodbye.
On a seperate note, I really appreciate you holding the fort down while I get back on track. These are 2 of better pomes that I've read in a while.
