Farewell
Acting like I need to mend.
Implying that I'm broken.
Tells a weakness in your head.
As insults often spoken.
Your ignorance to see.
Is easy to believe.
Your good intentions may be,
The reason I grit my teeth.
Your tactics of goodwill.
Manipulative speech.
Your practiced fictitious guilt.
Is just not worth the grief.
It's time for me to leave.
The only contrition I feel.
Is for overwhelming relief.
But you I can never tell.
Silence says my farewell.
A R.M.

Kind of sad, but all too common for modern relationships. A lot of men are simply pigs that don't listen, heh. I'm just saying, that's the way it is. I like how you capture the hypocrisy of the guy involved. Role-playing like you have something to be ashamed of, when he simply doesn't deserve an honest, true, committed partner, since he takes them for granted. Again, overall, great job. I liked the touch of rhyme here too. Helped it flow well. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you, this one was good therapy for me. No way to ever find closure in that suffocating relationship. I love Men. But Men confuse the hell out of me. Especially when they are confused about their own behavior. Lol

Your poem is a powerful expression of frustration, hurt, and passive-aggressive assertiveness. I liked it. Thank you for sharing.

Men & woman need to understand one another. Most of the time ego's take over and a battle follows. Communication is everything.
Great piece of writing here.
