Sara Beaderstadt Poet Narrative

Say Goodbye

I seen your face
 I felt your embrace
 And it just wasn't the same
 I finally walked away without lookin' back to call out your name
 
 Once you were my best friend
 Once I swore I'd be yours to the end

 But I guess its time to say goodbye
 Many of times you have clipped my wings but now its time for me to fly
 I  still remember all the drunken fights
 I still remember all the sad lonely nights
 It was constant infedlity
 My only prayer was to be set free
 
 Thats not a place a girl can call home
 Life is better when I'm out on my own
 
 Sleepin' in alleys, living off dumpster buffets, and seeking dope
 Stealing and lying is no longer my only hope
 
 I won't fall for what you have to say
 I refuse to cry for you today
 I have come so far and moved onto something more
 Life is better than ever before

 But I guess its time to say goodbye
 Many of times you have clipped my wings but now its time for me to fly

Richard Pickett December 18, 2010 at 12:41 PM As a published poet, I only have one thing to criticize, the first two lines of the first stanza I would have utilized ( I've seen) and ( I've Felt) both past tense. Other than that I did feel this poem. The feeling is there, the heart is there I gave this 6 out of 7 for content.Well done. God Bless and Merry Christmas....Taz
