Aiyah Torres Poet Blank verse

Dear Bad Habit

Time has come to end this life,
Of having you here by my side.
My whole world turned just for you.
So now, I'm letting you go...
Don't think I never valued our time together.
It's just that we're not meant for each other.
Let us now close the final curtain.
Move our feet away from thorough pain.
Remember goodbye, it doesn't mean forever.
I can breathe now, glad it's over.

Wayland Bunch October 3, 2021 at 6:15 AM Wow, definitely not in the tone of the last poem i read. This is definitely more powerful in the sense of you taking control. I don't know I need to stop analyzing so much, nice work.

Lynn Marie August 12, 2016 at 12:26 AM A wonderfully penned verse that is a firm goodbye written with clarity that is not belittling to the other, but refreshingly factual. Great writing, a pleasure to read. blessings, lynn
