Laughing My Good-bye

I’m supposed to miss you.
I’m supposed to feel incredibly alone.
Is it wrong that I’m relieved
That I don’t have to keep pretending?
I wish I could feel sympathetic;
I wish I could show I cared.
But somehow I’m smiling
At everyone else’s wasted tears.
 
Tell me again why you’d choose me.
Tell me you know it’s wrong.
Let me move forward knowing
You’re going to pay for this crime.
They say it’s okay for me to cry.
They stare as I look away.
I don’t think they’d understand
Or believe me if they knew.
 
Maybe I should feel guilty.
Maybe I should just forgive.
But how I feel doesn’t matter
To a body in a box.
Sometimes I wish I would’ve lied.
Sometimes you haunt my dreams.
But maybe now I can sleep
Since my bed is finally mine.
 
You stole my innocence.
You broke me with no remorse.
You abandoned me in desolation.
So I’m laughing my good-bye.

    If it does not hurt, then there is no need to make it so.
    Turning the other cheek and praying for our enimies and asking forgiveness for those who trangress against us is but a hypocrisy handed down by those of higher standing to make them seem like there is even more reason that they should be revered.
    FUCK-THAT-!
    It would be more wrong, false character of you even, to try to dig a deep hole within yourself to plant a seed of sorrow that would bear spiney thorns and bitter fruits, instead of just feeling your anger and relief.
    So why laugh a goodbye, when you could just laugh a "Hello" to solace?
    Also, great writting.
    Didn't want to overlook that aspect.

    great pen. Good depiction of the raw emotion. I like the line " You broke me with no remorse". I've met a scum bag like that too. Typo in the second to last stanza... " But maybe not (now) I can sleep.
