Goodbye
Gave you my all. Gave everything I am.
Destroyed who I was to make you a bigger man.
"Daddy, please don't hurt mommy".
Those words hit me harder than you.
I can't be owned, I can't be bought.
This is not the life I sought.
Is walking away harder than staying?
Is remembering the "good times" wrong?
Or is crying when I hear "our song"?
I need to move on.
In this house, I don't belong.
The pain pushes me away from you
because you never even tried.
Tears cried.
Marriage is a bond,
not "just a piece of paper".
A bond we never had. A love which never existed.
It's time to say goodbye.
I don't miss it.
"Daddy, please don"t hurt mommy".
Those words hit me harder than you.
I can't be owned, I can't be bought.
This is not the life I sought.
wow how sweet is this poem..really rich and the idea about goodbye is unique..respect your thoughts,,
i like the poem. i can feel the pain and the sadness w/in this poem. it's good you got up the courage to leave, cuz abusive relationships ain't good. i have a friend who's w/someone that hits her, and she won't leave him cuz she loves him. she chooses to stay w/him. she even has a kid. but she still won't leave. i wish she would. i'm glad you left him.
