Movie Night

The look in your eyes
The parting venomous words
The sight of your back as you walk away

A scene somehow repeated
A momentary flash of déjà vu
A brief period of shock and pain

I have failed to live up to your expectations once again
I am tarnished and my perfection spoiled
I the unworthy and unwanted

But this is the part were I usually beg
But now is the time I always grovel
But something is different this time

In me there has been a change
In me a quiet strength has slowly built
In me is everything I need with or without you

So leave now for the final time
So gather up your manipulations as you go
So I can now close the door and lock it behind you

Thank you very much.
Finally the realization.. Sometimes it is long in coming. Although it carries with it some sadness, there is freedom in it as well.

[Sami Khalil]

I agree . You are welcome...:)

Just "discovered" you ......this is a poignant and funny write, in my opinion ! I like it....I think you do a very good job of making your point in a succinct and interesting way. I am looking forward to reading more of your work. Thank you.

Yes! Loved it !!! That ending just sent me to the roof !!! Excellent writing my friend.

[Rogue]

Thank you. That really means a lot coming from you. I know I run rampant in the "experimental" part and blatantly break most standard poetry rules.
It's the devil inside, my friend. :)

[sithlordjp]

Don't let that devil go anywhere... Works good for you!
