Goodbye

Lying next to you,

I felt so safe, should have known from the start it was too good to be true.

You make me feel like I’m to blame,

Now I’m the one who’s shamed.

I can’t stop the way I feel,

Can’t stop the hurt so real.

So, there’s nothing left to hide,

There’s nothing left to sacrifice.

I don’t expect you to understand this,

But my feelings for you is a never ending list.

And now I hate you for the way you smiled when you looked at me

Like you had a locked up heart and I was to set you free.

I hate you for every kind word you ever said,

The way you took control and fucked with my head.

I hate that all I can hear is your heart beat,

All I can think of is the melody.

I hate that I can feel you on these empty nights,

All I can think of is how it felt so right.

I hate that all I can think of is the first time our lips met,

The way my heart tripped.

But most of all, I hate the way I think I love you,

And now I know it was all too good to be true.

So, I’ve come to a conclusion,

I’ll put my heart in seclusion.

This is the last time I let someone in,

The last time I let someone win.

I’ll build a barrier around myself,

Put our memories on the highest shelf.

And maybe one day I’ll take them down,

Just to go another round.

But for now I won’t let myself cry,

Won’t let myself die.

So, for now, I guess it’s goodbye.

This poem also uses lines from some of my favorite songs. I wrote this poem to basically say goodbye to someone who I care for very much. The songs used are Tears Don’t Fall (part two)-Bullet For My Valentine, Die For You-Otherwise, Blood-In This Moment, Better Than Drugs-Skillet
