Goodbye

You never asked for anything

Except closure I couldn’t bring

I hope that brings your heart to hate.

It’s what I need. My well-earned fate.

This world you took me to. House. Dance.

A me and you experience.

I’ll never share that with a soul,

I can’t. So I’ll just have this hole.

This hole inside my heart, devoid

Of any type of lasting joy

I want to die. Please make this stop.

Cut me. Kill me. I’ll bleed, then drop.

I just killed the rest of our life.

Forget the dream where you’re my wife.

No more Scarlet. No more daughter.

Our son’s name? Why even bother?

Really, what am I losing here?

I’m so sad, empty, and I fear

being wrong. Opportunity cost.

A life gained, but a true love lost.
