Goodbye to you…

You ostracized me for years (and my children; my family); discrimination of another kind–

goodbye to you…

You were oftentimes hateful, striking your words like a match; or just a snooty bitch–

goodbye to you…

You played church to ‘look good’ while you were “a demon” in closed quarters, behind walls and doors; phone lines, text messages, emails; a “little donut”—

goodbye to you…

You had two faces, bearing them both. I confronted, exposed you–

goodbye to you…

We were to remain, be family. You pretended, at times, for your convenience or appearance–

goodbye to you…

You spoke evil and untruths to me, and of me; mostly behind me–

goodbye to you…

You rid yourself of empathy, real human compassion. Maybe you never originally (fully) had it–

goodbye to you…

You bruised my soul; damaged my mind, but a brief moment–I chose and choose to be sane, completely together. Beginning, again, to be humble and gentle–

Can’t help it that you lack heart.

Goodbye to you.

Goodbye—

Why didn’t you protect?

Why didn’t you love?

Why didn’t you accept?

Why didn’t you try, make an honest effort?

You neglected the responsibility of help other than your own to self.

Where was your heart in the matter–through the years? Where did you go?

Who were you really?

You never could handle the truth.

It’s not like you to apologize.

“Goodbye to you.”
