if I was to say goodbye to someone I never thought I would except for one of us dying I would not know where to begin because I just never thought about it didn't know it was something to prepare for when it's like, someone feels they can't be in a relationship now they're not looking, etc. well I didn't think it was something you turn on and off every few years with the same person it's not like we're out in the field looking for romance or whatever it's just I thought we were together and if it's only temporary you don't want to be what do we need to say goodbye at all? why can't we just be what we always were I don't know how many things you have said I am and I'm horrible I ask way too much of you you can't be you, when you're with me one of the first things you said, though when we began, is that I always allowed you to be you in a way no one else did you make me feel like a monster yet I've cried at your feet and that's somehow manipulative that's somehow me being an evil bastard trying to force you to do something you don't want and you don't care about my stupid feelings and I never tell you what's on my mind I have told you a million times what it is but you don't believe it and think I always have some other motive than just wanting to be with you not you this or you that you're f*cking perfect in my eyes I just asked of you yourself and offered myself in return that's the entire deal as I know it

About this poem:
I think there should be a "rambling" category for poems. I would hit that one off.
the person I'm writing about isn't my wife, but that's how I think of her. I thought she would be someday. I don't give up and it drives her crazy because I really do love her. the last thing in the world I want is to hurt her. I think she sees in me the possibility of causing her a lot of pain. I know she cares about me. I know she loves me. I think she's incredibly vulnerable. and I am too. it's a shame we can't understand that we share the same fears. I don't get our complete inability to communicate.
I don't believe anything that I've said is too personal or inappropriate. I'm sure anyone can relate to the general notions expressed here. maybe it will help someone find in themselves what it takes to make love work. I don't know.
