Lately

12/02/2021 - Poem a Day Compilation



Lately, I’ve thought of you and didn’t cry

The idea of you didn’t even make me sigh

I realised I would never know the reasons why

And it was time to finally say goodbye



Lately, the sense of loss has escaped me

The pain of rejection has let me be

I’ve opened up my eye and can now see

The memory of you has set me free



Lately, I have been able to move on

No longer needing a crutch to lean upon

Spreading wings more powerful than a swan

The weight of regret now completely gone

Goodbye

04/07/2020 -  Poem a Day Compilation



It wasn’t hard to say goodbye.

I didn’t need to say it at all.

I simply shut the door on our friendship

And let it fade into the background.



I went against my better judgement

Letting you into my life at all

But I was alone and lonely then

And wanted to see the good in you.



I think I knew it wouldn’t last

But I hoped you would change for me

But you just got worse and worse

And, in the end, I couldn’t continue.



I sometimes miss our chats

But knowing how they always end

I’m glad I don’t have to go through that

No matter how good the rest of it was.



You probably think I’ll come crawling back

But I don’t need your negativity in my life.

You’ve had more chances than you deserve

And you can’t worm your way back this time.



If you try to reach out to me

You’ll find no response at all.

Because you don’t deserve my time

And with these last few words I am done.
