Bitter Sweet Goodbye... Poem by Ging Taping
Bitter Sweet Goodbye...
T'was brunch time
When the heat of summer is just around the corner.
Curtains swayed as the wind passes by,
Morning sunlight reflects inside the corridor.
Everything flows gently, flows in a right rhythm.
Then you came..
I didn't expect I was surprise!
You came home wearing shades so I can't read your eyes.
W/out a single word encapsulate clothes from the closet
One by one pack inside the suit case.
I was shocked nailed feet I can't move I was stuck.
But in one snap I was back!
'Can we talk? I said
Nothing to talk about anymore.replied
Then shat the door..
Pain is killing me like a knife.
Helpless, fold down my knees.
Tears like a falling rain down my cheek..
My palm offered help so I wipe..
Now that you're gone all was left-
the indiscernible sketch of yours.
Don't need me no more..
Days rushing so fast, lonely w/out you by my side.
Claimed I am happy but I lied.
Memories rolled by I devoted my time to you.
Extending my patience when you were out of line.
We laugh we giggled
Never ending promises down the lane.
' we will stay together 'till the end'.
Now I have move on..
Picking up the pieces that once shattered.
Bitter sweet refrain still linger.
But I leave the pain behind.
Living my life alone my dear.
here is ‘my’ “two cents” (comment) on the “T’was”. I copied this from a Google site and agree with it. “The seldom-used contraction of it was is correctly spelled 'twas (notably the night before Christmas) . Many users improperly omit the apostrophe, which uncommonly precedes the word in the place of the letter I.”[the letter “i”] There are “problem areas” of English usage (in my opinion) , but I won’t mention all of them because I like the poem so much for what it says, and I don’t want to bother you with too much, AND I’m short on time on this end! :) but my reasons are in descending order; I REALLY like the poem! here are some “problem areas” I feel are most important: “One day, I didn't expect I was surprise! ” ………. add “d” to end of surprise. “Nothing to talk anymore.replied” …………… kick out the period between “anymore” and “replied” and insert “she”. “Then shat the door..” …. maybe just a typo? did you mean to type “shut”? “shat” is a past tense form of the verb “shit”! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - “shat SHat/ 1. past and past participle of shit.” - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I will definitely use this, and gladly, in my/our August showcase for PH poets on my PH site! thanks! bri :) be well, and best wishes to you both.
a fine writing, expressing great emotions. more about this poem later. thanks for sharing. would you like me to put this one in the August showcase? it would be nice if you say yes. best wishes to both you and sis. bri :)
Sad... do not like this to happen to anyone. Simply put with a lot of depth. Memories cannot be forgotten. but it can be overcome. Until a day, a time comes when you think of the same memories without much feeling. Probably smile. such human beings are the best in the world. Not wishing bad to the one who has hurt us, not cursing etc does not mean that one is meek, a fool; It simply means we are way ahead of them, mature, conscience full of the purest emotions. you have overcome! ! very nice
Thanks Roop..yes you are right it could happen to anyone.rival siblings that's what we called.

A strongly emotional poem of a great love lost, and how time does (eventually) heal such painful wounds. A very nice poem that I enjoyed very much. The lines Nothing to talk anymore she replied Then shut the door.. wonderfully set up the overwhelming pain expressed in the following stanza.
