Our marriage is a scam,
I'm tired of living a lie,
Pretending I am not who I am.

I'm tired of being shut in,
Unable to be who i want to be,
It's time I pack my belongings,
And set myself free.

Memories link me like a chain,
Feelings circle me like a tide,
I push them away and pack,
I no longer choose to hide.

My kids are laughing in the other room,
Watching some cute nap time show,
I want to cry for them,
To not have to have them know.

Today is my new beginning,
I am wiping my slate clean.
I hope to walk out that door,
And have you be a dream.

My mind aches with truth,
My heart breaks from lies,
I turn the knob and look back,
One last glance of goodbyes. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 180 [topic] => 52 [informant] => clovermama25 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => goodbyepoetry )

Things about you bug me,
Our marriage is a scam,
I'm tired of living a lie,
Pretending I am not who I am.

I'm tired of being shut in,
Unable to be who i want to be,

And set myself free.

I hope to walk out that door,
And have you be a dream.

My mind aches with truth,
My heart breaks from lies,
I turn the knob and look back,
One last glance of goodbyes.

How horribly painful. :( Especially stanza four. Damn. This literally brought me to tears. Good bye has got to be the most evil word (or two words) in the English language. If this is art imitating life, my thoughts and hopes are with you. Life can be equally cruel and wonderful.
