the last farewell tour

the last farewell tour

A Poem by brooklyn

you aren't coming back this time are you.
i kind of got that feeling
  when you walked out the door the other evening.
it was so cold in my room
  you took all our heat with you
  that's not f*****g fair.

I've been trying to ignore it mostly
  the empty feeling in my chest
  but it's so hard to look past it
and no one else loves me anymore
  because I can't stop smoking meth
  but I probably deserve it
  because I carry on even though it's not worth it
it's not the best
but it's what I get
I guess.

a sad song was playing when I woke up
but I didn't want to think of us
I try to get ready
  and your clothes are everywhere
  and strands of your hair
  and all your f*****g makeup is smeared
  across every surface
I can't take a f*****g step
without an unwilling encounter with your mess - 
  you made it, all the pieces
  the parts that you left.
I should clean up and throw away all your s**t
but a part of me can't,
because then it's too real
  even though it already is
  and maybe one day you'll come back for all of it.
my hopes are high
but not as high as me
because I know my chances are slim
unfortunately.

now I'm not sure what to do
but sit and rot in my room
breathing toxins into my lungs
I don't give a f**k
  because you don't care about me now
  so why should I?
I need someone to live for - 
  it's pathetically tragic
  like me, an addict
but I don;t know how else to see it
my self-worth got lost when you were leaving
and my friends all shrug me off
because I'm too lost
they don't come, won't come 
  to find me here
  teetering this cliff near
  the edge, near death.
whatever, it's not up to them.

I want to die.
I'm sick of having to decide.
I'm sick of being lonely at night.
I'm sick of everything, I'm sick of life.
I'm sick
  of not being sick
  of getting high.
