Leaving

“Don’t go”, she screamed,

As he walked out the door.

I was wrong, I cheated,

I’m a w***e”

 

He turned, smirked, shook his head,

“If you wanted me to stay,

you should be in our bed.”

 

The door slammed shut.

            She let out a cry.

                        Running to say goodbye.

 

“Don’t leave me now.”

            She said to the back of his head.

                        “Too late”, he growled, “consider me dead.”

 

“It’s your fault!” She begged.

            “It’s all your late nights.

                        The arguing, bickering, picking the fights.”

 

“I just want to be loved,

            but that you can’t do.

                        And you’re angry at me cause now we are through?”

 

“You take me for granted,

            you hurt me all the time

                        you tell me I’m past my prime.”

 

“Finally someone enjoyed my company.

            Someone listened to what I had to say

                        You had to know this would happen one day.”

 

“Now that I’m thinking,

            go right ahead a leave,

                        if I stay with you love I’ll never believe.”

 

He listened intently,

            raising his brow.

                        “Enjoy your love, I’m leaving now.”

ahh! this killed me not to pick as one of the winners of my recent contest. i know this - i lived this - i feel this. even if this is fiction to you, it is not to me, and i had such a hard time with this. this poem is so evocative, filled with emotion, and RAW. i think the only thing that held me back was the rhyming, but that is your style, and if thats how you get your words out, get them out. but this touched a nerve, it was beautifully written, beautifully worded, and real. please submit again if i ever have another contest (which of course will not get you much, but another "medal thing") - but this is a piece of your heart. i absolutely loved it. i cant wait to read more of your work.

I loved the dialogue and the format of this poem, Mysty ... Although sad, its wonderfully conveyed ... hugs

Wow...good one! Makes you think twice about straying even in thought. Kinda makes me wonder why she didn't just tell him how she felt about their relationship rather than yell it out so late. Hmmm. Very good piece. Blessings.
