Kissing Her GoodBye

Giving everything and my all

winds of change started happening

life growing cold as winter creeps

heated passion started fading out

and I can see her now, dancing around

trying to impress me with her all

playing a foolish dance of fakeness

All her baggage in tow, I just want to forget

let go of all the joy; for nothing was real

all of the pain from time that was wasted

I took your guilt and placed it into me

for I felt so very wrong for everything;

and now I kiss it goodbye; letting go forever

our last dance ended fatally, heat died

who's sleeping my side of the bed tonight?

looking next to me, looks like shadows of misery

have you ever cried so hard?
Numbness inside

baby you just died, after everything I did

and there she goes again, lies, screams

another masquerade in false circumstance

She'll fuck you just for the taste, and use you

none of it is real though for it's just a play

I just wish that I could replace all the memories

of what makes my blood run cold,

and as your blood flows through me,

I say goodbye to what we had;

my love you didn't deserve, I see that clearly now

liars will eventually get what they have coming

my heart has been torn in two,

yet people are bypassing my tears,
can't anyone see them as I lay down and cry?

or is it they aren't seeing them
 from false stories told about me
that aren't true and real?

I'm alone and finished...but that's just for a season

she came, and went, I gnawed through my lip,

makeup smeared in her eyes, disbelief comes

each sob's a reason to say good-bye

for my heart doesn't belong to someone that lies

sometimes when your holding on,
 you'll never see the light

with the flowers in her hair,
gazed upon with dead lovers eyes,
she never looked so good

and I never, felt so right, I felt so wrong....

for the only thing I feel right by is
 kissing her goodbye

Atreyu - Right Side Of The Bed Lyrics

    This is passionate and powerful. I was a bit distracted by the overuse of the word "all". I am sure you were trying to make a point but it was made without the redundancy. Other than that and the line;

    "who's sleeping my side of the bed tonight?"

    Did you mean to pace the word; "on" between missing and my?

    I love the feeling of "letting go" that this poem evokes. I also like your take on the lyrics of Atreyu.

    Thank you for this entry into my challenge. I wish you the best.


    Much Love ♥

    altho i dont understand people turn to hate when they are left by another i have always felt that no one can control how they will feel and it should not be held aginst them

    Outstanding

    A very entangling piece. You have weaved the sad story of love with words of grave nature. Every sentence unfolds secrets beyond the literal meaning of each word. love which is not mutual is doomed to fade for it involves sacrifice only on one side, devotion only on one side, sadness only on one side, suffering only one side. We may try very much to persuade the other but we are belittling ourselves. We all need to move on and find someone who does not need convincing. I enjoyed your poem alot.

    Nicely done. Interesting work with the lyrics as well. I do have one suggestion..in the very beginning you use the phrase 'sharp gut pains hit my stomach'. I think that would be just as effective without the word gut...its almost repetitive in a negative way if that makes sense.

    I do like this, though Good luck in the contest.

    A crossover with love, loss, a saturated guilt that pervades, but not without thinking it was all meant to tantalize. The stark representation of it was sharply felt.

    I'd say it was more obsessive than anything, which makes for
    a good mysterious write. I'd like to think this is narrative
    and fiction since you're such a really bright person at heart and have no time for wallowing.

    Love ya kiddo. A good write if dark is what you like.
    As for me, I'll take Manhattan!

    This is a very dramatic poem and the background is to "die" for. great imagination and great visualization. this should definitely win the contest and if not then shame on everyone. you need to write for a newspaper or something. I can help you publish your work if you are interested. all the poems that i have read from you so far have given me much inspiration to do my best and continue to write even better poems. everyone of your poems has been admired by all my friends when I let them read the printed ones. whatever you do, don't stop writing and don't stop with the pain.

    tragically good

    this was sad and tragic. unrequited love always is. the sorrow/hate was a amazing contrast. your imagery made that so factual to me. like one minute total love and the next hate and a taste of bitterness. did the person die? or just fade away?
