Say Goodbye

A Poem by Somber Eyes

If that's the way it's gonna be
If that's the way you're treating me
Then I won't stay here anymore
I'll be walking out that door
And you will see

I'm not a thing you can control
I've got a free will of my own
Now you'll see me walk away
And there is nothing you can say
It's time to go

Why did you have to turn into a stupid jerk
Did you think my body was just another perk
Something for you to claim, for you to possess
I thought you were different, but you're just like the rest

Say goodbye
It's time for me to fly
And you won't see me anymore
One last look
Is all it took
Now I'm walking out the door
Don't call me
To say you're sorry
Because we both know it's a lie
Just one little slap
That you can't take back
Means it's time to say goodbye

Why did you have to act that way
You may have had a stressful day
But when there is a fight
Use your words, don't use your might
Or you will pay

Now you've lost the best you had
I don't care if you were mad
I'm not a punching bag
I'm not here for you to drag
All around your pad

I will not submit to your psychotic mind
If you attack, then I'll fight back, and you will quickly find
That you're in over your head, you've bitten more than you can chew
And thank all your lucky stars that I'm a better person than you

Say goodbye
It's time for me to fly
You only have yourself to blame
I loved you
You know it's true
And I thought you felt the same
But in your mind
I was a great find
Just another pretty object
Just something else
To put on the shelf
Another trophy to collect

I could have been
The most valuable thing
That you would ever hold
I would have stayed by your side
If you had treated me right
But now you'll never know

Don't call me
To say you're sorry
Because we both know it's a lie
It was just one little slap
But you can't take it back
So now it's time to say goodbye
