Good To Be Gone

by Jenni Marie   Nov 27, 2007


After all those times you beat me down
Played cruelly with my head and heart
All those times you laughed at my tears
And tore me right the hell apart

Well now it's good to finally say
I'm now moving on with my life
No longer willing to be a puppet
Or get dragged into all your strife

Finding out I'm so much stronger
Than I ever would have believed
Can't believe I stayed for so long
All those times you made me bleed

Now, walking outside in fresh air
I can relax and enjoy the sun
No longer worrying you're near
On alert and getting ready to run

Can't believe I used to love you
Nothing but a waste of space
And when you realize I've gone
I'd kill to see expression on your face

    Another beautiful poem. I feel weird commenting you because these are so fantastic, there's nothing bad to say. I feel like a fan girl or something. ^^ 5/5

    Ohhh that ending was so vindicitive and hurtful. I loved it! This poem was honestly really great Jenni. For a love poem it's quite different. Lately i've been reading alot of love poems which are either happy or depressive. This was original because it held so much anger within it. Almost portraying deep sarcasm within a few lines and I always love sarcasm. Your word choice was effective, simple and so flowing. You wrote this for a contest? well I hope you get the gold because this was great. Well done on creating another superb poem!
