Goodbye

The sharp crack and sting
of your hand on my face
was all the proof I needed
that leaving you is not a mistake.
Thank you for so graciously
shoving me against the door
only next time you try
and show me out, can
you make sure it's open first?
I'm glad we had
these years together
I have memories that will
last a lifetime, unfortunately
they will be capped off
by your violent and petulant display.
But I will go queitly now
and leave it alone,
because if you knew the real reason
behind my leaving,
it would be so much worse.
