Finally Gone Poem by Tori Godwin

I’m wide awake, waiting by the phone again
The familiar paranoia slowly creeping in
Where are you right now?
Oh, why aren’t you here right now?
I hear the tires screeching up the driveway
I muster up the strength not to cry again
Oh, where have you been?
But I know where you’ve been

You act like I am so clueless
But baby, I’m not stupid
I remember every single night
You left me alone to silently die
This guilty look plastered on your face
I’m done paying the price for your mistakes
I have lost my hope for us this time
And I'm not letting you crawl back tonight

You cannot fool me with your mask this time
I’m done with pushing aside your pathetic lies
I refuse to live like this
I hate dwelling in this bitterness
And yes, I've heard all about her
I know the secret of your other girl
So now it’s time
for you to realize
that I’m finally gone...


Good bye.
