The Only Option You've Left Me

Goodbye For Now

I've been so focused
on welcoming you into my life,
I hadn't realized
that you've already
kicked me out of yours.
The hinges of my door
are completely rusted,
beyond repair
from waiting for you to return,
waiting for a call that never came,
for the sake of a love that was never there,
or at least didn't matter to you.
Because, if it did,
why would you be trying so fiercely
to get rid of it now?

So I've packed up my bags,
preparing to move on.
You've left me no choice
after all,
for I refuse to be hopelessly
consumed by the tearing pain
ripping my heart open,
searching for my affections
to feast upon.

I had always thought
that you were different from the rest.
I never imagined that you'd end up
on the laundry list of those
who have abandoned me
over the years.
It seems that both you and my thoughts
have fooled me, because,
clearly, I was wrong.

How fitting that this
started with you
and ends with you as well.

Goodbye for now,
until you find yourself
at my doorstep again.
Maybe then
you'll have the courtesy
of not slamming the door
in my face.



If you haven't caught on already, this will be my last post on this blog, at least for a while.
I love you all and wish you the best of luck and hope to see you again soon, perhaps in good spirits. Until then, friends.
Goodbye for now.
