The Strength To Say Goodbye

Goodbye, Man of a thousand days! It's been three years too long! You hurt me in so many ways, But now I must be strong! You played me like a violin, My heartstrings throbbing still... Today's the day, the day I win! And Man, it's such a thrill! No more moaning when I come home, Because you won't be there! Don't give a monkey's where you roam, 'Cos I no longer care! You've had your chance! You're outa here! Evicted! O-U-T... I've spelt it out to make it clear! Today you're history! You hurt me in so many ways, But now I must be strong! Goodbye, Man of a thousand days! It's been three years too long! Denis Martindale, copyright December 2010. The poem is based on the poem penned by Charlotte Murray, 'Good Bye Forever' which I found on the poemhunter.com website.
