Goodbye Speaks Milady(and she means it)

by CathyButterflyJC   May 1, 2013


I ball my fingers into fists
Dig my nails into my palms
Pound my knuckles on my mattress
I plead to go back in time
Rewind to before we both had regrets
You want to turn back the clock
Fix your mistakes
That ended us
And what we could be
I wish with a bleeding heart you could have chosen me
And been true to me
And could be
Hitting the sheet under the blankets with such might
Crying under the covers
Letting out sops into my billow
This is what you did to me
The noise of my screams choking me
Choking on my sops
The pain holding me
The goodbye slaughtering me
You did this to me
I say to myself
As I cry late into the night
Pain bolting into me deep
Stabbing through my heart
An overwhelming ache
And unbearable lose
Tears stream down my face
How cold has become your embrace
As you reach your hand out to me
Receiving is calling
But this time I can't take it
My red eyes illustrate my hate
As your betrayal
The knife in my back
And daggers through my heart
Stuffy nose loudens the weeping
My heart is screaming
In utter distress
Disappointments rain down
The storm of letdowns
Destroy my house
Tonight I had to walk out
Until you learn about love
And what being true is about

    So, the title is what drew me in ... although I don't think it really needs the (and she means it) part... unless you have said goodbye in the past and didn't truly mean it, but still... I think the actual title without the words in parentheses sound better. Just my opinion, though.

    This poem is obviously about a relationship turned into heartbreak, it radiates of raw emotion.

    "Letting out sops into my billow"

    ^ I think with sops you meant sobs? and billow , pillow?

    I do think this poem could benefit being put into stanzas as well as some punctuation throughout. It would be easier for the reader to read. Once again, just a suggestion.

    Overall, I really liked this poem, it dripped continuously with heartbreak and sadness and can be relatable to about everyone that's ever gone through heartbreak.

      Thank you, I wonder if he'll see it, it was good to let it out, and kept me from crying during class
