Goodbye

I'm too good at goodbyes,
I am left alone so often.
Left to ponder my choices and actions,
I think I messed up.
i think that I hurt you,
I don't know,
They leave waving and saying goodbye.
I put on a smile saying I understand,
I try to act like it's no big deal.
I don't want them to see how much it hurts.
That is not for them to bear.
Sometimes I get hurt more than I deserved,
I get blamed for when I did nothing.
I get slammed, beat, punched, and shoved because of them,
But I can't show that.
I will hold this tsunami of emotions,
My dam will hold,
and let my fake smiles pass,
because goodbyes are so easy for them,
because they don't know how much it kills me.
