One Last Goodbye
too many late nights out with who knows who
coming home and masturbating to a ***** instead of making love
slapping and pushing me around after coming home drunk
telling me you were out with friends smelling like purfume
lipstick stains around the whole on your boxer shorts
finding your wedding ring in the ashtray of the car
late night and early morning phone calls that you reject
calling out sick to work to sneak off with eyvette
finding the bed sheets on the floor with wet spots on them
blond pubic hairs on the toliet seat when yours are black
not taking me out in public in the daylight hours
screaming her name at me when we fought ooops you forgot
stealing money from our account to go and get high
then turn around and tell me its all a friggen lie
not going to my mothers funeral or my grandfathers too
abandoning me when i went to prison leaving me all alone
sleeping with my little sister and blaming it on the alcohol
leaving in one outfit returning two days later in something new
changing your cell phone number and not giving it to me
locking me out the house and calling the police
you creep
these are the many things i forgive you for
i love you so much i need this to say goodbye
love and forgiveness comes hand and hand
loving and knowing when to walk away is hell
..............................for the jim fish love and forgiveness contest...............................
