Yes, It Was a Goodbye

Sometimes “Goodbye” Isn’t good at all. Sometimes “Goodbye” Is a relief with a sigh! I feel no pain, no pain at all The door doth close. My space now in harmony with my internal void. My home and heart not empty to say, But ever grasping for its space! Your boredom written across your face, First message I send, no reply I taste. No tears leak out from my gleaming eyes My heart now, has room to grow Whether your in it, who says so? Learning a lot about myself and of my basic needs You always prove that Love isn’t, what its cracked up to be! I thought, I was in love with you but you replied, I love you too. But “in love” with me your not I see! We are so different but were driven by loneliness Until together, that loneliness we shared. I have no pity, nor regret for a creature such as you. You take what life I offered and chewed and ate and chewed. Your ignorance, I overlooked but the lack of search for truth, I cannot fathom such sheep in the herd like you. Now you came to know I cannot be drained For you dug in an empty well in time no bottom was felt. Another, yes, could have scratched the surface of my very soul finding something wondrous not hiding far below! I don’t know you, for you have not known me only remaining, our incompatibilities! Laugh I must, because it’s really your loss I’m one like no other even though I maybe lost! In me, you found no transparencies, to look at loving eyes It’s only yourself you search and then eventually will see! I told you of my void the darkness that lies there We tried a hand at love, friendship, possibly I found its lining worthless. No wisdom you possess or depth of any matter, the offerings were cheap, my will you could not shatter. Revolving around yourself, your own sun and planet, so self absorbed, the ways so blatantly apparent! Your foolish mind you tried to hide behind the obvious musical talent. But so dry inside, no artist! Opposites may attract what a silly notion, that anything could last between the dirt and ocean! No commonality we share for love of art and words mine being heaven, yours the devils dollars!

Thanks for taking the time to read my poem. It was something I had to just get off my chest. Writing is a lonely endeavor. Thrilled that you could relate to it. To just strike a chord with one other person on the planet is all need to keep writing. My greastest release is scraping at the corrosion of my soul. Kindreds spirits are hard to find. Thanks again!
