My Last Goodbye
written by: J. Robbins-Clacema
Who will be there?
Who will come to pay their respects?
My mom abandoned me
My father abused me
My uncle cherished me
My grandmother did her best
My neighbors hated me
My friends…non existent
My kids tolerated me
My husband adored me
I am going to the other side
It is better there
I will make friends
I will be happy
The pain is too great to bear
I have many ways to ease the pain
I can take you in one gulp
You beckon me
You tease me
You want me to be part of your circle
You tempt me with your promises
I surrender to you
You make me feel whole
You make the pain go away
I swallow in one gulp
I hear your sweet whisper
Then everything went dark
I drifted into a deep sleep
I am summoned into your temple
I am welcomed with open arms
I am part of the circle now
I can never go back
I am content now
This is my last goodbye
