Letting Go Without Saying Good-Bye Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Sorrow flooding this being, drowning in depths of nothingness
from which there's no return, buried in the grief of disassoc-
iated love, hope completely taken forever.

Not able to bear living this life anymore, there's nothing
left, no longer able to live with this abuse, temper tantrums,
what have I ever done to deserve this type of cruelty?

Living life helping others, being kicked aside like garbage,
no care or thought of love ever, better not to exist anymore,
a grain of sand buried under many years.

Filled with tears and disappointments not able to bear this
pain and heartache any longer, letting go of all once loved
for no one has ever loved me back.

Never being the one thought of, never missed by anyone,
therefore, it's better to not exist on this earth again,
waving good-bye, alone now as ever.

No one to hold or call my name, no whispers of I love
you, nothing, letting go without saying good-bye, knowing
I'll never be missed, it's better this way.
