Goodbye


Can you die already?

I’m so sorry.

I totally get why i might come off as a bitch

But let me explain myself, just let me finish

I love you. I want you. I need you.

But how does that matter if I hate you

Do i hate you for real?

I don’t know if that’s possible.

So lets make a deal,

you tell me you don’t hate me, 

and i’ll do the same.

You can’t hate that you produced me

and i can’t that you gave me my name.

This is all done, everything is good now

 

Can you die already?

I’m so sorry.

I’m still saying this, even after everything

Do I start? Again, you want explaining

You hate what’s happening to your body

You are decaying away, but your just fifty;

and alive.

So how can you deal with living

If all you are doing is dying?

You have raised me to be the person I am today

I smile, and laugh, and am like you in many ways

Gullable and sweet, brown eyes and hair

Honest and trustworthy, we are always fair.

You have done your part so now just stop

You don’t have to fight, just give up.

I can’t stand seeing you the way you are.

Unhappy, depressed, and your brain is somewhere far.

You don’t want to deal with it either.

So I’m going to say goodbye. 

I know I’ve done this before.

But this time it’s for your sake,

I can’t need you anymore.
