Goodbye
Robert Grenga 1978 (Auburn)
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.
