Poetry: Good-bye, my love

by Lady Moore-Sabb

Created on: October 12, 2008

Why do I bother
and waste all my time
You love 68
But I deserve 69








Where is the love
that you promised me?
Where is our future?
That only you see

Where is the hope
I need you to give?
Where is the purpose
that I need to live?

Where is the goodtime?
to be had by all
Where is the net
to prevent my fall

Where is the conscience
that sleeps through the night
Where is my ally
to help me to fight

Where is my portion ?
of all that is due
Why is there one one slice
When there should be two

Where is the money
I gave you on loan
and why is it funny
When no meats on my bone?

Where is the value
of all that I'm worth
Did it ever occur
Just how much I got hurt

I've been by your side
Through thick and through thin
I've swallowed my pride
To let you back in

yet over and over
You give me much grief
And each time you leave
is such a relief

But hear what I say
Without any doubt
The next time you leave
I'm locking you out

Yes i'm losing weight
I'm trimming the fat
I'm dropping your butt
need my swagger back

see There's one earthen treasure
That outshines the sun
The only thing better than having a friend
Is learning the value of being one
