A Kiss Good-Bye(Written 7-31-03) ...This Poem Was Inspired By A Letter That Was Written By A Mental Patient-A Letter She Allowed Me To Read That She Had Written To Her Boyfriend An Poem by Bernard Ceasar

You have damaged my heart so many times
and have made no attempt to correct it
now I am letting you know that our love is on the line
cause when you had me-you refused me-abused me
and now I'm feeling neglected

You show no signs of sorrow
so I doubt for us if there will be a tomorrow
I cannot believe I have stayed this long
you should be thankful for me
because if it had been someone else,
they probably would already have been gone
but so far, as the song says, 'I'm still holding on'.

The love we once shared was like an everlasting faucet
we thought it would have lasted forever-
you had it, but now you have lossed it-
like a thief and his missing treasure-
you will never miss your water until your well runs dry-
I hope you thirst for my love and die-
as the presence of my beauty leave your eyes-

not a physical death, but more of an emotional suicide-
I want you to miss me so much
that you literally lose your mind-

I want you to feel the hurt and pain-
'walk a mile in my shoes'
and realize that what you had was someone who was special
who would have done anything for you

also know that no other girl in this world
could ever compare or even come close to our love-
and I hate to end this relationship between you and I-
I will cherish every moment and I wish you a good life,
but for right now, I must leave you with a kiss good-bye...
