Black Poetry : Hello Goodbye

[Mikha'el]

The first tiime i saw you a smile came to my face

I said hello, I picked you up and embraced you in my arms

Such a surreal moment left me in tears

But it was moments & feelings of bliss like this that got you here

So happy to finally see you can't wait to take you home

Still in a zone all my own as we went home

But soon as i walked through the door my heart sank to the floor

I saw my living conditions & pondered about how we would live in this house

For i couldn't take care of myself

So how am i gonna take care of you?

I'm in a frantic panic lost for words i don't know what to do

And this only the first day you home and i gotta do this all alone

So i'm going through scenarios to see where i can go with this

Only thing i can come up with is the end all to be all simply end the ****

As days turn into weeks the situation turns bleek

You in the front room crying I got no food for you so on the inside i'm dying

For we both starved and parched and it's killing my heart

I feel like a failure for not being able to provide

My thoughts start churning and turning to the other side

Now i'm on another level as i sit here in tears

Feeling as if i had no choice but to listen to the voice insdie

And entertain the Devil's offer

Satan tells of a way to escape the hell in my life

So i agree for he's the only one listening to my plea

So arrives judgement day sorry it has to be this way

You were my first & the way were parting ways is the worst

I'd give you the world if i could but i don't feel you should suffer like your mother

So i'ma free you of worldy pain with this bullet

I feel so guilty but i feel as if i had to do it

I couldn't live knowing you weren't being raised as my kid

I did it for the sake of us both

As i look at you in your own blood i start to cry & wave goodbye

Goodbye untill we meet again i love you i promise this won't be the end

Hello Goodbye...And Hello Again

Still in a zone all my own as we went home

MiKe,

Wow! All I can say is don't give up, MiKe. It was this sentence that struck me:

Only thing i can come up with is the end all to be all simply end the ****

You were a great storyteller in this. Good imagery and deep emotion in it.


But I can't help but be saddened, sickened and angry when I see this poem come to life.
Too many times, we've seen the news reported of someone killing his children and their mother.

And sometimes, himself too.

But you presented this concept very well.
