A Long Time Coming

Published by Family Friend Poems August 2011 with permission of the Author.

On that first day
Did you look into my eyes and know
That one day you would go away?

It started off
As something from a fairy tale,
But then one night it all changed.
Every little thing I did was not good enough.
How could I be the perfect person you wanted?
I was me,
And nothing could change that.

I started getting more flaws pointed out
By you.
Every little argument
Ended making us both mad,
Making a little crack every time.
As soon it would get a little better,
Something would turn up to take it back.

Then one night
You decided it was all MY fault
For everything.
At that point,
I knew I had to let you go.
It was so long
Before I was gone,
Before I had lost me.

So
I am leaving before it is too late.
It was great while it lasted.
You will stay in my mind,
But with only the good memories.
The bad are all gone.
So this is
Goodbye.
