Poetry: Good-bye, my love

by JCW

Created on: October 08, 2008

Every thing you wanted ended up in your hands

No matter if it was a gift or a direct demand

If you wanted gold she would dig through dry sand

If you needed attention she was your number one fan

She never once questioned your motive

All the times you got heated, fired up, and exploded

Standing there yelling with your arms folded

She still stood by your side loyal and devoted

She didn't know why but you made her feel bliss

There was something she felt in your passionate kiss

Every minute you were away, you were fully missed

Never thought an individual could make her feel like this

You were the only one she really wanted to believe in

Her love for you didn't change with the passing seasons

People questioned her love, she couldn't give them a reason

They say 'I have a million explanations for you to leave him'

When you had nobody she would have your back

When you took the wrong path she'd put you on track

When you couldn't cover the tab and the bills start to stack

She would work double shifts to cover your slack

She started catching you in lies, you'd be quick to debate

You'd turn it around on her and swiftly manipulate

Her trust for you started to slowly evaporate

Continued to deceit, she threatened to segregate

Right before you'd fall, shed comfort you before you landed

Thought she'd always be there, you took her love for granted

Gave you her all, but you left her empty-handed

Except with an idea to leave you abandoned

You recognized what you had when she decided to depart

You finally realized she held the key to your heart

Consumed with other things, you didn't play it smart

Now that she's finished, you want to go back to the start

You begged for forgiveness, you started to plead

Contemplated a way to replant the dead seed

If you had another chance you promise you'd feed

Help the relationship grow by supplying what it needs

You insistently sought after a second chance

But to her it was a thousand stabs at romance

Back then she'd show pain, around the issue you would dance

Warned to leave you, you looked no deeper than a glance

Now you sit in silence by yourself all alone

Sitting and waiting around by the phone

Wishing you'd wake up next to her in your home

On your worst enemy this feeling you wouldn't condone

She couldn't be with someone she felt didn't love her

When you placed everything and everyone else above her

She left you comparing her to every other

Left you exactly how you left her to suffer
