Bad News Poem by Alexis Spidle

Bad News

Rating: 5.0


Bad news is like a knife
It cuts through your veins
As you speak the words that crush your soul
Right as you finish saying the bad news
I scream NO,
I scream NO because I can't believe what I hear
You sit there with your head down
You think to yourself I could never smile again
I could never laugh again
I could never be happy again
But then you say to yourself
I was never happy
I never smile I never laugh
So how could it affect me now
Maybe it was best that you left me
Maybe it will be my chance to regain happiness
Maybe it's a sign
A sign that you and me could never work
It's a sign that gives me strength
To get up off my knees
To break free of these iron cuffs that you put me in
I used to cry in the night
Cause I knew things weren't right
So I guess the news was good news
Instead of bad news.

Lovely depiction of breakup occasioned by loss of fascination in blissless voyage of love, well articulated and insightfully penned from inner recesses of the heart with conviction. Beautiful piece of poetry well brought forth. Thanks for sharing Alexis. Please read my poem POETIC MASTERPIECE.
