Last Look

It's All Come to This

Fought years to keep your heart,
Rightfully mine from the start, 
Ignored everything else, 
Felt so stupid and stressed, 
Learned you'd later squash this heart in my chest

The last time,
We looked in each others eyes
Savaged my insides

It's all come to this...
Our final words with no kiss
No hugs and no sign of remorse,
It's obvious things have taken their course,
 
Your way or highway
You don’t give a *****what I do, 
Wasted many hours trying to talk to you,
It's like trying to knock down a brick wall,
Your love was never intended for the long haul

Foolish thinking your abusive days were over, 
Guess that's impossible,
Your an ******* undercover,
One certainty, you wont change,
Future with no “you”
No 7 Steps system, 
No healing time frame

Too mad to talk I left you there,
Guardian Angel made my choice very clear
All my efforts washed to the sky,
Wars over, I need to say goodbye
Tears run down my face and I feel rage,
Like fine wine, my happiness will grow with age.

I respect the lucidity & candor of your composition - the poem reminds me of an ancient woman I know - you may enjoy Malbec wine from Argentina J.A.B. 2012

Funny thing... I don't drink, so when you mentioned Malbec wine, I really thought it was the name of a poet. I Googled it and learned that was not the case:))) I guess everyone has their moments..hehe
