One Last Goodbye

too many late nights out with who knows who coming home and masturbating to a ***** instead of making love slapping and pushing me around after coming home drunk telling me you were out with friends smelling like purfume lipstick stains around the whole on your boxer shorts finding your wedding ring in the ashtray of the car late night and early morning phone calls that you reject calling out sick to work to sneak off with eyvette finding the bed sheets on the floor with wet spots on them blond pubic hairs on the toliet seat when yours are black not taking me out in public in the daylight hours screaming her name at me when we fought ooops you forgot stealing money from our account to go and get high then turn around and tell me its all a friggen lie not going to my mothers funeral or my grandfathers too abandoning me when i went to prison leaving me all alone sleeping with my little sister and blaming it on the alcohol leaving in one outfit returning two days later in something new changing your cell phone number and not giving it to me locking me out the house and calling the police you creep these are the many things i forgive you for i love you so much i need this to say goodbye love and forgiveness comes hand and hand loving and knowing when to walk away is hell ..............................for the jim fish love and forgiveness contest...............................

Wow, that is some powerful writing, hope you got rid of the creep, walk away, here is a quote "God, did not open the gates of heaven to let me in, he opened the gates of hell to let me out" Good luck in the contest, I think it is a winner.
