My Goodbye

My Goodbye I have been up for hours, searching for words And I finally see, that this is goodbye The reality has broken me, as I come to my senses I have to let go and surrender but it’s not without consequences I did not expect this, so quickly to happen Not even in my dreams would I have fallen To a chance, that my heart would be broken Nor as to someone I claimed as a friend It must have been your sweetness that melted my heart Or your smile, that gave it a start Whatever the reason for feeling this way It only grew stronger with each passing day I am trying to wish you the best in your quest I hope it is returned to you, the heart and the soul of her very chest I also hope that you can forgive me, this emotional mess As I do you, for leaving this hole in my chest It is going to take me a while to put this behind me To not live in a dream of what I thought could be It is a process that most go through And it really sucks when you find it is also you So without delay and if just to cease this misery, which I may no longer cry In that I am sending you this last text to say my goodbye I know now what must be done, it is just what you asked me to do But know that for this short little while, I came to have loved you It was hope that you’d have opened your heart to something different, with a potential of being surreal So it is with no further mention of things unsaid, that I give you this poem and say my goodbye Written by Jessica L Hatter On this first day of May 2015
