Last Goodbye

Last Goodbye

A Poem by Laura3841

A silent tear rolls down my cheek

as I remove the last picture from the wall

I take a deep breath

and look down our hall

That was the floor

that held our footsteps

and let to the rooms

where our memories were kept

As I glance around our empty home

it becomes hard to swallow

This is the day to erase our dreams

and find a new tomorrow

I feel my failure

slap me in the face

This marriage is over

It's a hopeless case

Today I will move on

and try to not look back

It's way past time

to get myself on track

With Pepto Bismol in one hand

and a cigarette in the other

I'll say goodbye one last time

and go live with my mother.
