Last Goodbyes

By Brittany

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

You left mewhen I was still young.I don't know why.I only knew thenyou left me.Did I do something wrong?The last goodbyes...the tears in your eyes.You were shaking so bad,I knew you were sad.Now eight years olderI finally begin to wonderhow could you hurt me?Your very own daughter?The piercing nightmares,the endless stares.Remembering you back then...how could you make those days end?Seeing you in my head,walking in the door...there on the floor.I didn't know until later,that you were dead.The years of painthat you have put me through,I still don't know whyyou bothered to say goodbye.This one is about my father. If you can't tell, I am the one who found my father after he committed suicide. I was also the last one to see him alive. He was my rock, but now my very apathy. I now despise his every memory in my life. I tried to put that towards the ending too... to show the more recentness of the feelings.
