Goodbye

by Phoenix ¥   May 5, 2018


I used to have choices
But not anymore,
I’ve said goodbye
And closed the door.

Accepted my fate
It’s swallowed me up,
No energy left
It’s time to give up.

My dream life
Wasn’t meant to be,
So with a broken heart
I say Goodbye G x

    The title makes me question what you're saying goodbye to a friendship, relationship, a home, a job, a life....
    1) this stanza is intriguing as I wonder why you no longer have any choices because you've closed doors never to reopen them is it because of disapproval or control or just simply because now you've made that decision
    2) This makes me think you've decided to give up on a relationship because it's taken up all your time/energy abit like they've taken taken taken without giving anything back yet expected everything in return from you no doubt even the clothes off your back if they'd fitted them and been their colour ofcourse then I reread and thought heaven forbid it be about wanting to end your life because it's got too much for you... I hope it isn't the latter.
    3) OK so now I no you're saying goodbye to a person and I feel it's a person you were in a relationship and thought the world of well you know what your 'dream life' can still be as life is what you make it regardless of what and who you have in life.
    This is a fluent and fantastic piece
    Take care

      Hi Em thank you for such a detailed comment - I so enjoyed reading your interpretations. The poem is multi layered and relates to illness and relationships. I love your positivity in pointing out that life is what you make it . We just have to adapt and modify I suppose and maybe grieve for the ‘dream life’ that never was.
      Take care xx

    Dare I say it Phoenix, but I'm pleased you've reached this point with him. There's someone out there that's meant just for you and their heart is free. Try a clean break and stick with it (I know ... easier said than done!)
    Hugs xx

      Hi Kitty x sometimes life leaves you with little choice and you have to accept some things aren’t meant to be, despite all the wishing and wanting more than anything in the world. Thanks for your kind words.. Like you say, easier said than done! Lots of love xx
