I QUIT

Yeah, you heard me,

I QUIT!

I’m sick of trying;

I’m sick of lying;

My God, I’m so sick of crying.

I know I allowed you

To push me this far,

But I couldn’t just walk out –

You’d forget about me,

And, yes, I would be nothing;

Nothing but another of your w****s.

I QUIT!

I hate this pain;

I hate this constant rain;

God, I hate these fucken red stains.

But yet I stayed.

I waited;

Hoped;

Loved…

And I was betrayed.

I was tainted;

Dropped;

Shoved.

So, I QUIT!

I now walk out the door.

I hope that I don’t want to come back;

I hope that your face

Won’t haunt my dreams;

Hope that your voice

Won’t ring in my ears through the night.

I want nothing to do with you!

I want out!

So, I reiterate:

I QUIT!

I quit you.

I quit life…

[Jerbear The Great]

first off: excellent poem. I could tell that this poem was obviously heart-felt. i also felt it was a little blurted, rushed, if that makes any sense. but even so, you pulled off a fantasic ryhme scheme. Though i cannot say that i have felt your exact pain, i do relate, and my heart goes out to you in your darkest days. good luck with the trials ahead of you. Great Job.

[Matthew V. H.]

I have to agree with Froman. This was a powerfully explicit poem withoout being graphic. I feel your heartache and i feel for you. keep up the good work.

[An owl on the moon]

Your pain and anger are so vivid, bleeding from wounds of betrayal and loss. You express your emotions through your writing so well, but it hurts so much to see a good friend suffer like this.
