Skat A Poet Free verse

Goodbye

(NOTHING MORE TO SAY)

I've seen the way you look at me
I've seen the way you look at them
Without wanting to admit, you hate everything I stand for
Lying to yourself, you are sweet, caring and better
Still, you look at me and hate everything I stand for
You are a cheat - A liar - A toilet flushing down rain

You seek and want my attention, yet you have no domain
Your THANK YOU's are cheaper than a grin on a Walmart bag
The light - The light - That shines upon your expression
Nothing more than.....
Sour grapes traveling towards the darkest region of the sun
Yes, simple prunes basking all the time!!!!!
Shaking powdered grapes from lobe to lobe
Watching humping wild hogs who can't eat cake
---Desperately you mock yourself---

Before you draw a blank, let me remind you
You look at me and hate everything I stand for
The way I smile, carry myself every day
I never claim to be perfect, but better with no anvil
You can't bear the way I stand in front of the soap display
I embrace with all my spirit, at the end of every day
I'm so glad I am nothing like you or them
In reality, I judged you the moment you walked in

Before the year ends, I will end my affair right here
I have nothing more to say
I hope you all have a great new year.

I do hope you too return as I shall miss your darling writes. Great write, keep that strength of character and remember who you are... Goid luck with your endeavours.

Aaron Vialpando April 20, 2026 at 5:49 PM Hi SKat A. I just looked at your poem for the first time. I mostly write and forget to read others' work. This is a great write as it reminds me of something that happened in my past. Let's just say it made me think about an ex-girlfriend that was not a good person.

Curtis Johnson April 20, 2026 at 5:09 PM Hi, Skat A. I have missed you. I shall never forget that it was you who welcomed me To Poetry Soup with encouraging and kind words. I am forever grateful. BLESSIJNGS..

Leon Enriquez January 2, 2023 at 7:48 PM Dear Skat A: I remember your farewell poem in 2015. I remember you olde friend. So, here’s to you wherever you are, and blessings to you on your journeys elsewhere. I took a break from PoetrySoup last year as I reached my 10,000 poem target which was very hard. Now I am back in 2023 with 2 poems posted. If you pass by, stop for a visit and share your kind wit. All the best, Leon.

Christuraj Alex August 20, 2022 at 5:20 AM "Sour grapes traveling towards the darkest region of the sun" - Though it's truth or not. The truth is beautiful feelings of anger and annoyance and many other such negative feelings against a person is beautifully brought out. Great work. Congratulations!

Shirley Hudson November 16, 2021 at 9:30 PM I don't know if you remember me but you commented on the poems I wrote a long time ago. You inspired me and I wrote a good 37+ poems since then. This reminds me of the poem I just wrote yesterday called heart of Stone. Wow this gets right to the point. I love it and you feel the pain stabbing you right in the heart.
