Who am I? <br />Please don’t just say my name with a silly grin, <br />I haven’t got the toughest of skin, <br />And my life is beginning to feel like a sin. <br />I thought that in my life I would only need, <br />One person to be there for me. <br />But now I look at you, <br />And you’re not the person that you used to be. <br />I don’t know how much longer this can last. <br />I need you to understand, <br />That I don’t want us to depart, <br />But if I do it now, <br />While my heart has enough strength to let others in, <br />I might not die, <br />When its time for you to say goodbye, <br />And when I wake up knowing, <br />Ill never see you again, <br />Even though I’ll still think of you, <br />With every passing day. <br />It’s taken a lot of time, <br />For me to say this to your face, <br />But now when I look up at you, <br />I realise I’m looking in a mirror, <br />And just talking to myself again, <br />Waiting until I’m strong enough to talk to you.<br /><br />Laura Cummings<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-is-my-last-goodbye/
