Her

So goodbye and farewell
I'll be just fine I'll be swell
to escape form this ****ty hand that I have been dealt 
And 
As I pushed her out
I whispered to myself
I don't know her anymore
and I can no longer dwell
So I continued to walk out that door
as she continued to yell
I could feel her essence begin to disappear
I could distort her voice
into screams I no longer wanted to hear
Into dreams I no longer wanted to fear
Because I was scared to feel
the idea of waking up without her here
But her impression was faded 
including everything in between
never spoke of that I hated
then one night
being obnoxiously intoxicated
it came to mind to be created 
that I was no longer obligated 
to feel that sort of hatred
Especially for all the times she laid on her back naked
just to fake it 
and I'm thinking to myself I'm way too ****ing wasted
I don't know how much longer of this that I can take and 
when did not having an answer
spread through this relationship like cancer
what I offered was everlasting
but she managed to not make it last her
just like last year 
my biggest fear was to hear
that I was the reason to bring her tears
but I learned through the years
she was real quick to judge
but never quick to look in the mirror
and now I'm here
now I'm alone
standing 6 foot tall
watching everyone I know
knock on my 6 foot wall 
but my bricks will never fall
for someone so ungrateful and hateful
who has everything and still wants it all

This is not only well expressed...it's also beautiful. Some people do have it all, but they do not realize it, and in the end they are the losers. // paul
