PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Before I go

I just want you to know

That your're the reason

I walked out the do'



You treated me rude

Ignored me half the time

Why get mad at me

For having a life in mind



So I burnt all your clothes

Threw your shoes in the trash

Made it look like a party

Had myself a big bash



All your shit is gone

How am I wrong

I put up with your abuse

For much too long



Got punched in the eye

Knocked straight off my feet

Sometimes I had to look in the garbage

For a few scraps to eat



I kept taking you back

Time and time again

Until one day you came home

And beat me until no end



Doctors said the scars would heal

The exterior ones anyway

You came to the hospital

With flowers that day



Stupid ass of mine

Took you back, no questions asked

Now I regret that decision

When I look back at my past



But the next time you hit me

My bags were all packed

Salvage what shit I didn't destroy

I'm gone now, All you see is my back.
