Spoken Word – GOODBYE

 Goodbye – 27-FEB-2012

I promise I’m not really bitter, You’ve just left a bad taste in my life.

I’ll forget your shallow promises… The “How you would Be, if you were my wife”…

That’s probably NOT gonna happen now. 

It’s just your fairytale.

I’m certain you will replace my energy…with some desperate henpecked male…

 

I’m certainly not the one,

Who can fulfill your twisted need

To control THE MAN who you say you love

Who’s clearly not your son.

 

You see, the randomness of your consistency is not consistent at all

With the balance that I require to release to you my heart’s all.

The only thing I can count on is the frequency of your life’s many battles

The “I’m sensitive over this”, and the “I’m upset over that”, it’s like the nuisance of a Baby’s rattle.

Just background noise that indicates YES, you’re awake and occupied

No signs of your desire for any resolute truth, You just wanna be pacified. 

 

So… Here…. Stick THIS in your mouth!   I’ve raised all my kids!

 

I refuse to manage insecurity that’s wrapped up neatly in your low self-esteem.

I’ve done that before,

and I adamantly swore

I’d go to HELL before I rewind that scene!

 

I know I have a list of things required of a wife for me

But, that doesn’t make a difference if I never can be free

Of my own past hurt and sufferings that clearly was meant to be

As an opportunity for personal growth and relationship maturity.

 

So, I guess what I’m really saying is… “Okay we gave it a try”

As God is in heaven, I do believe in his divine destined-eye

That new from my beginning, what the purpose would eventually be

For my choosing to explore romantic love with you and now needing to say goodbye.
