Goodbye

erhm... some sort of venting/catarsis of no poetic value
but it served a purpose
I watched it grow
grey, brown and sludgy
shapeless but hatefull,
like a mass of jumbled emotions
fighting to outshine the other...
and I knew not the reason
behind this grudge
Or more so,
Knew the cause
But could not understand it
Let alone, abide it
I knew not
how long it would last
but I thought it best to
step out,
To walk away whilst I could
Maybe this decision fed
The growing monster
spewing venom and bile,
But I could not stand by it
To be consumed by ill feeling.
So I said my goodbyes
In some coward sort of fashion
even though I was to blame
For bringing back the past...
I've kept silent thus far
Silent I remain still
And won't be bridging the gap
I hope forgiveness can come
Eventually
More for your sake than mine
But I will do nothing to attain it
Because if I step back in
I might never
Find my way out
So farewell, so long
I loved you at some time
but now I must say goodbye...
I've been saying goodbye
All this time
But never had the strength
To make it final...
One final nod to the past
One final wave of the uplifted hand
One final look
And then,
Goodbye
Goodbye my love
Goodbye... goodbye
And sorry, I guess...

its funny how when we leave something behind, we hold only the good memories...
~~its better to be hated for who you are than be loved for who you are not~~

Yes, that happens.... I guess that's why letting go is so hard
I've just reread it, and hate how the last part came out, but as I said, the poem served a purpose. I might rework it sometime, but doubt it.
lemme see...
I'll hide the look upon my face
to hide the pain
I'll shave the last, "too late"
down the drain
And I'll pull the looking glass,
down on it's side
to hide the razors
the size of my pride
and at the elbows
I reach for the sky
bye
bye
bye
And you pull the vase from
my hand
help me to scatter
the ashes
boiled in the hate of
this man
piled up like
molasses
And I'll pull the looking glass,
down on it's side
to hide the razors
the size of my pride
and at the elbows
I reach for the sky
bye
bye
bye
... something like that, anyway... (from memory, even
peace be with you
(and yours)
oh, and i have several of these cathartic things hiding in my journal... sometimes they even look like poems
