An Abrupt Unexpected Good Bye

I cannot tell you I am not hurt Because I am crucified. Did you ever love me or was it all a lie? I need a few seconds to get some control. Was it the red-headed woman? Or the blonde little troll? Do not tell me you have moved on without anyone else I am naïve, not crazy, not stupid. Although now I feel a little of both. You have completely devastated me. I feel skinned alive, my eyes hurt from crying. If I said I was okay I would certainly be lying. Some day when you have a little girl of your own I hope you remember this day and how much you hurt me You had nurtured the little girl inside me But she died a few minutes ago When you told me that you never loved me When you look at your baby, you will remember this moment And you will feel remorse Knowing you killed another little girl Now go because I do not want to hug you good-bye.

This doesn't sound like fiction, unfortunately. Hang in there, Caren. :) gw

It truly is not fiction for some, but total fiction for me.

Ugly good bye's are the worst. Your poem capture's this truth dramatically.

A sad reflective narrative of childhood I think. It works for me that way, anyway. Good stuff.

Heartbreaking! Handing you a handkerchief, my friend! Your raging with anger and sorrowful sadness. Oh no! How can I give you solace? What happened? I hope you read my poem, “All alone and flower fables.” I had you in mind as one of my sweet friends.

This is a fabrication - total fib.

Even the worst things sometimes are meant to be... For something or someone better is yet to come! I believe this is the case here. The wrong person needs to go, to make place for the true love! I can feel the pain from your poem.

I wish people would remember to let to, so they could let God and let the person they are meant to be with in.
