Closure

I need closure but my pride wont allow me that privelege,

I know I need to talk to you and get this over with,

But I will never admit it,

I need closure so that I can look into your eyes,

And not see the many times those eyes brought me a smile,

I am seeing someone now, and so are you,

But I don’t have the closure I need and frankly I think neither do you,

Why did we end on such an abrupt high?

Memories of that phone call I recount so many times,

I want to call you are a coward,

I know I can never do it to your face,

You never even had the balls to break up with me face to face

I just want to close this chapter in my I don’t want to be mean,

But before that happpens I need to open up and release the real me,

The me that has been suppressed inside,

The me that never got closure from your pathetic excuse of a human being,

I can’t  believe you call yourself a man

You can’t even admit when you are wrong

I was not the one having an affair,

It was your dick that was always in the air,

You know something I don’t need your closure,

I found it in my strong composure,

Because after you left me I still held my head up high,

And guess what negro, I didn’t cry

This poem sounds as if it were a truth for you, it has promise, could be much stronger... I need closure but my pride won't allow me the desire... desire I think is the wrong choice of words, need expresses the desire... maybe privilege or something like that... You could also cut down on connecting words, which make the write stronger most times... I need closure, but pride won't allow that privilege. from there you repeat the word "closure" several times, the poem is entitled closure... in many of those you could refer to it as it... so as not to hammer the reader with the same word.... I like the strength it ended with... and with a little work, it could be very good... Richard
