Steve Voorhees Poet Free verse

My Last Goodbye To You...

Please believe me
   Please leave me be
Your words now grating... skips on scratched CD
Crying wont help you now
   The rumors all drown out the sound
Those tears dont sell me, oh Croctilian One!
 Just more games.... so silly and fun...

You're from a land where emotions flip like switches
           Revenge is this dinner Ive served.... all cold dishes
                    A slamming door for dessert...no "best wishes"

Please believe me....Please leave me be
  Its all  sickness, Ive found medication
Im on to new things, no hestitation
  Waving back smiling "Bye now lover"!!
Glad I've cured this illness of her...on now to discover
   those sweet ones I once shunned for you
      There's no "feeling blue" Hallmark card this time

Only a tattered, burning Valentine
                                   ...message too charred to read

Laurie Ginn January 8, 2009 at 5:14 PM I can identify with this Steve, "sweet ones I once shunned for you," I can let myself so involved in a relationship I close everything else out. Great writing Alfie. Laurie
