A half-hearted good bye

A life with no happy ending.
No one to go home to.
Nobody to tuck you in,
Is a life without promise.
The long road that is hopeless.
I stand before you, arms no longer reaching.
No longer will I allow you to bring me down again.
I will rise in the moments that you fall.
I will succeed in the times when you need me most.
No longer will I be there for you.
The clock has stopped ticking.
Once the minute hand as reached one, I will have given up.
My scent will linger within the wind.
In moments of despair hold onto my picture and know that I was once there.
I refuse to say good bye.
So when we part ways i will not shed tears of agony, but tears to new beginnings.

Parting always bleeds specific pain(s). But then attraction never equals compatibility. Ultimately, character is determined by who one chosses to forgive and why. Good luck on your next relationship.

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
