My Last Tear

My Last Tear

A Poem by Choosing Life
"

Over It

"

 

You don’t have to love me anymore
 I’m finally okay
You don’t have to need me anymore
I’m finding my own way
The days aren’t so blue now
I’m getting over you now
I’m finally okay
For a minute I thought I would never smile again
 For a minute I felt like my life was going to end
 I was crumbling inside
The tears I couldn’t hide
It was damaging to my pride
How easy it was for you to leave my side
And I felt I was just some game
Just another face, another name
And I experienced such pain
Inside of me
 But I fell down of my knees
And I started to pray
Iwas so out of words
 I didn’t know what to say
But an angel came down
And tended these wounds
And a Voice from within
Gave me strength to resume
I don’t need you anymore
 I can pass this test
I don’t want you anymore
This is really for the best
 I deserve so much more
But I was willing to settle for less
Won’t do that again
Not even for a so called friend
So here’s to goodbye
 I’m down to my last cry
I’m finally okay

I felt such a transformation in how you started saying what you did do....kinda what did happen... you stated the facts.. and put it all on teh table for the reader to see then from there you garnered your strength!! fused all that was on the table into what compriesed your energy and moved forward with a dilevery simple and yet very detailed. Detailed in the swiff ending ... the aftertaste it left... or at least left me!! Once again, you ceaase to amaze me!

A truly touching recounting of healing and determination. The short lines and unobtrusive use of rhyme make this a very readable and emotional piece.

Two suggestions:

"But I fell down of my knees" should be "down TO my knees"?

Two lines down there should be a space between "I" and "was".

Very good work!
