Even though everytime... "Goodbye."A Poem by Eddie PhillipsYou said you loved me. It was just another lie. You promised never to leave. However, today you gleefully said, "Goodbye." I always believed you'd stay. I trusted you, even as I lost my pride. I gave all the innocent "me" I wanted to keep inside. Today you left me with nothing but the remnants of a lie. You took all I had and laughed without any care. You raped me of my purpose by swearing you'd be there. I ignorantly trusted you. I believed despite all my fears. Even though every time... You left me alone with abandoned tears. Betrayed, I think back, and I remember all your lies. Painfully, I realize that every time you fed on me: You always knew you'd say, "Goodbye." © 2016 Eddie K.
