Final Goodbye

Not much to say bout this one, other than it's about my family life.

Everything spins around me
Colours swirl, hurts too much to focus
Wanna touch that distant fire
Gotten so weak and numb
Just dunno if I've the strength to reach it
Enters like a bullet
Hurts more every second like a sharp dagger
Pounding rapidly, tearing through me
I clench the curtains, clutch my chest
Red soaks through my shirt, I can see it
Beaten so fast its ripped outta me
Pulling on these curtains upon these walls
Ripping, shredding just like my broken support
I fall through this floor
So far that I don’t know who or where I am
Down through this hole that is my life
Until I hit rock bottom and they tear through me
I start to bleed, don’t stop but never die
My minds keeping me as alive as I’ll ever be
In my mind, you are always there
You’re like this thought so far gone
In my endless gallery of broken memories
Lost loved ones and lost lovers
Flipping through pages of my past
It all flashes before my eyes
I’ve got to let go now
Before time ends
And all becomes too hard to mend
This is my endless letter to you
My spoken words will blow you away
Til you’re so far gone
That you won’t be able to see me
This is my last wave
My last disappointed look
My last tear that will roll down my soft cheek
The last time I will ever hurt over you
My final good bye

The intensity of your feelings show through like your heart the tears through your chest in this poem. I can see the drama portrayed in the actions, like the death scene of an old movie. Yet, the end is the passing of a relationship - which in my opinion is so very sad.

Nice work, I enjoyed reading this piece
