Another one for the Dearly Departed

The door slams
                again.
But this will be one of the
last times you will leave this house
                that way.  I wonder
if you ever notice how I go
                            limp
when you hug me?

//Are you even observant enough
                  to see me?//

Please don’t misconstrue my reasons –
  I simply thought it would be less overt
than flinching away from your touch.
      Even now,
after everything you’ve done,
          and I am still being considerate of your
feelings. 
                    How stupid does that make me?

You cried today.
and I was supposed to empathize and
try to make you better.  Instead, I cried too.
I wept steadily [again – doesn’t it seem that I am always
writing this?!]

But not out of sadness.
                        Frustration,
                                    Anger.

Your fierce grandstanding only serves to
  light the fuse, sparking outright rage.                                   

How can I mend what I didn’t destroy?

You quote Chapter and Verse from a book
            I used to know by heart in your sad, belated
efforts to reach me.  What a fucking hypocrite.
Telling me, with the requisite quiver in your voice,
that you want me to be happy.  That one day I will
understand that this is the best thing and we will be
friends.

One Day.

If that day comes, I pray for a kind soul

        {To put a bullet between my eyes}.

    This is a pretty good piece that is about one of the shittiest things a person can go through, pardon the language. We all have that picturesque forever fantasy, now and days though its sad to say that less than half of them make it halfway there.

    This is such a very emotional piece. Excellent penning, allowing some of the anger to be released. Great depth and distaste! Thank you for your entry & Best wishes in the contest!

    oh this is really sad...sorry that you are going through such a shitty time. the poem itself is full of anger and saddness and you express it really well. Its not too whiny, (i hate whiny) but a genuine unleashing of your emotions. Great write and i hope things look up lady.

    Damn! I don't know the other Bean Sidhe but I definatly like this one! Every single line in this write seethed with a quite hatred so papable you could taste it. Whoever this poem was written to is absolutely on the losing end of that deal. Good job! Thank you for writing that.

    Wow. This was really good. I thought the ending was just the best.

    Your fierce grandstanding only serves to
    light the fuse, sparking outright rage.

    That part and everything after it were the best. Brilliant write. I also thought the AN was funny great work

    Compelling

    Been there and this poem totally described it. Your irregular structure helps to convey the feeling of anger and disconnect. I'm new here, but this was so to the point and THERE that I could feel that frustrated anger again that happens when the door closes and you're not sure if you're relieved or dying again. Great job.

    Superb

    Wow, an incredible write; with vivid imagery. I interpreted this to be a poem about domestic violence.
    I'm glad we do have some shelters for those who are victims of spousal abuse.

    wow

    never read before you before, i don't think, but that was intense and real. so, so real. i'm loathe to point out a particular aspect, because the whole poem speaks to me, but i'm a big fan of strong endings, and you definitely have one here. extremely powerful, leaving the reader wondering what the f*ck just happened. excellent work.

    Not Only Is She

    Back, she's back with a fucking vengeance! I LOVE ANGRY BEAN! She makes me feel so much better about being angry Faery. You sit there with your bud, I'll sit here with my Molsons and we'll have a party.
    LOVE
