The Last Words, The Crule Words Poem by Rin Kathy

Just waiting,
For a good excuse,
Not to do my obligation,
To a dear friend,
It’s a promise,
That I must keep,
Yet through my protesting,
I feel a pull to do my job,
But, I doubt myself,
Can I possibly do this?
Yes, I answer,
Who am I kidding?
No, I reply
It’s just not possible,
I can’t utter,
Words,
To a friend,
Who had been inarticulate,
For so many years,
That now can speak again,
For words are naught but,
Liars,
Cheaters,
Unneeded,
And unwanted,
But, still, I go,
I step towards the door,
That holds my future,
The knob feels like ice in my hand,
I kneel down besides a bed,
“Goodbye, my friend”
Simple words can kill a human
“Don’t say that”
“But I must”
“No, never say those words to me.
I don’t deserve them.
I’m not a friend.
I have cheated and hurt you numerous times.”
“But I still want to say goodbye”
“Never! I don’t go away if you remember me”
“If I don’t say these words,
How will you know how much I will miss you? ”
“Who says I will be missed”
“Me”
“I don’t believe you”
“Try to”
“Just don’t cry at my funeral”
“Wouldn’t dream of it”
“Goodbye”
“Don’t say that”
Those ugly words,
Unforgiving and cruel,
They can hurt more than ease the pain,
Those words
Oh! How I loathe those words
