Goodbye



I’ve been screaming for help but never seam to get it,
I don’t know why but no one seams to listen.

I yell so loud in the quietest of voices,
And now I shall die because of your choices.

I wanted you to be there to comfort my soul,
Instead I stand here alone ready to pay the toll.

I may cry till my eyes fall out but it’s all in vain,
Your not hearing a word while your with your new what’s his name.

You lifted my life up from a bad place,
And then sad to say you dropped me on my face.

I don’t know where to turn now it’s all been taken,
Dropped like a bad habit, I have been forsaken.

So to the knife, maybe a barrel, or even a noose,
But all I truly know is,  I need to set my spirit loose.

Right down to my bones… on everything I love I did try,
You shoved me out of your heart a long time ago……goodbye.

    Wow! I'm new here and this is the first poem I read. I've tears in my eyes. I could relate to each and every word. A couple of years back I lost everything and this reminded me of everything I had to go through to survive. You truly have a wonderful way with words.

      Thank you so much for your kind words and the 5*. I’m glad that you can relate but sad that you can at the same time. I’m sorry for what you’ve gone through.
      Hope things are better today than yesterday.
