Goodbye By Desiree Cady

Goodbye

So many times I have let you in

Just to play with my emotions

Yes, it is true, love may cause tears

But mine could have filled the oceans

I am finally free of the chains 

You once held over me

Now you want to come back

We'll make it work, you beg and you plead

If I thought for one second That things could change

That the words you spoke were true

I would sacrifice my happiness for my family

That is the girl you thought you knew

But I have had time to examine myself

I have also met someone

I have learned there is more value to me

And I deserve better than what you have done

I stood by and gave it my all

Through so many torturous years

I am smiling now most everyday

I will not go back to the tears

You had a good woman

One who loved you til she had nothing left

But what I was doing to myself

Was leading me to a slow death

You made your choice 

When you walked out that door

Left me heartbroken in pieces

Lying in my tears on the floor

Now be a man and own up 

To what it is you've done

You no longer wanted to play the game

Now just accept, it's over, you won.

Bio

I am a 33 year old mother of two beautiful girls who have been my saving grace. After a brutal attack a few years ago, I have been plagued by PTSD. After the attack and a few suicide attempts, I vowed to tell my story and help inspire others to get help and to know that they are not alone. 

I am currently wrapping up two manuscripts for publication and am set to be published in an upcoming anthology that will come out mid - November.
