Darla Mcginnis Poet Prose Poetry

A Simple So Long

Keeping you at arm’s length 
So I can regain some form of me 
Somehow I have to find the strength 
To get up off of my knees 
Always thought I was broken 
Never thought it could get worse 
But you laughed in my face 
and took my heart as a token 
When did you become so twisted and perverse? 
 Sitting next to you kills me all over again 
You smugly think this is a game you've won 
You did not win 
Oh how you did lose 
Now you are all alone because with him she did choose. 
Tossed away like yesterday’s trash 
So long I’ve taken this from you 
Wanting you to be happy 
Not realizing what you intended to do 
I hope it was worth it all 
I hope she will always hear your call 
You never missed me until I was gone 
Well this time it is a final goodbye 
  
Not a simple so long.
