Good
bye
Angry and helpless,
that's how
you
make me feel.
I feel your pain
but I can't help you.
I feel your sorrow
but can't cheer you.
I feel
the weight that you carry
so meekly upon your shoulders.
But I can't ease your pain
cheer your sorrow
or help you
carry your heavy load.
For you have closed me out
of your world.
Sealed our fate
and locked away
any hope
we had for reconciliation,
and renewal.
You
placed land mines,
put up walls,
and strung barbed wire
around the path
to your heart.
Closed and locked
the doors
and windows
to your soul.
Leaving us
but one road to travel
in opposite directions.
So I will leave you now,
battered and broken
as you are.
Alone
in your sadness,
and pain.
Under the weight
of your fears.
No longer will I
be your reason,
to not live,
and to not love.
