Time For Me

By Kerri L. Copeland

Today I will leave
And without a fair trade.
I don’t care if this hurts you.
It was your bed you made.

I just have to walk.
To talk just won’t do.
It was never enough
To get through to you.

So, always remember
That you pushed me away.
Now, you have no right
To ask me to stay.

No flowers, or diamonds,
No declarations of heart,
No begging, no pleading,
And no fresh start.

You have sealed your fate
With your selfish demands.
You will never change
Or wash the blood off your hands
