I don't know why im posting again. i want to close a part of my life and this is a place that i wrote  it seems some pretty naive and foolish girl poetry.
You see someone who i've loved for almost 4 yrs i think is gone from me...not dead i dont think...but he abandoned me....or so it seems people tell me. So i guess this is some sort of closure...a place where i used to where my heart on my sleeve. but...since no one has seemed to care in my life...i guess this was the only place i could vent...not even a love i thought was strong could give me that

GOOD BYE

there's not a lot left here
for me
i'm dead can't you see
these tears are worthless
after years of foolishness
when our love seemed to die
what was left of me?
of ?
this codependency is killing
but so are the drugs
i was independent...
know im addicted
our love seemed to drag us both down
I wish we could have loved forever
and had children together
but i was wrong
i think you lied
i think we lied to our minds
im dead dont you see
i don't think im naive or foolish now
i think you killed me
while i held the weapon
i hate these tears
almost as much as i hate your love
i think you killed her
and left a shell
i thought we would love forever
why did it die?
i guess im stupid to have loved
i hate your memories
that you planted in me
i hate the picture
of us married with kids
but most of all
i loved our joy
so when you decide
that you've never stoped loving
please let me know
so i can smile again
so we can start brand new

I love you Brad.....

Hey there, this was an excellent piece for closing the door on the pain you still had. I liked the style of it, well done.

Ps..keep your head up, someone else will catch your eye one day.

Ina...

I'm sorry that we never got to be friends.  I guess I always kept myself at an arm's length from you.

I treated you unfairly, and I apologize.  I hope that you have a full and rich life.

Don't ever define yourself by anyone other than yourself.  Remember that, okay?

This is a most heartfelt piece and I am extremely sorry to hear about your situation at the moment. Love doesn't just go away so hopefully this Brad will see the light and you two will be together again.

As for the piece, nicely put together. You've shown a very good display of your pain with a meaningful undercurrent.

Thank you for sharing this.
