Steemit Slam #1- Goodbye - Original Poetry

in poetry •  7 years ago 

I have nothing left to say
Words won't matter anyway
Only one thing left undone
It comes with the setting sun

I've done the deeds
Sewn my seeds
Hurt many in my life
Most of all my wife

Forgiveness will not come
Its okay, I'm numb
Do not pity me
I'm where I want to be

Tell my wife I love her
And I wished I could be there
Maybe another day
If I can find a way

For now its goodbye
Its my time to die
Sorry, I must go
Sending my love from death row

That is a beautiful poem with deep meaning... and pretty sad as well. I am a nurse and so many people suffer from depression and those who cant cope attempt to commit suicide. Some leave a note. But i cant imagine how horrible it must be if the letter is addressed to you. ⚘

Thank you for reading! Yea, that would haunt someone forever. I'm sure they would always feel they could have prevented it somehow.

"For now its goodbye
Its my time to die
Sorry, I must go
Sending my love from death row"
