Goodbye.

I’m almost at the end

Complaining every day

About my drunken roommate

Here’s what I have to say

 

Your actions haven’t changed

As you dig and shovel down

Keep on reaching deep, new lows

Far beneath the ground

 

I’m trying not to judge

Though it’s hard to do

You saw me go through shit before

When I did drugs like you

 

You know I’ve gotten sober

In which you don’t seem phased

When you still come home to party late

I’m now beyond amazed

 

When people lack respect,

Consideration too

It brings me great discomfort

I cannot to live with you

 

I see beyond your niceness

It comes across as fake

I sense you only talk to me

So that you can take

 

The money that I offer

To pay you half the rent

If I could I’d move out long ago

But most my paycheck’s spent

 

So here’s my 1 months’ notice

Not sure yet what I’ll do

But I find relief in saying that

And goodbye to you

I enjoyed the poem and am glad you're on the other side of drug use. I did notice a couple of grammatical errors.

"I cannot to live with you" an unessary to

"If I could I’d move out long ago" move should be moved since I'd is past tense

"As you dig and shovel down" is an amazing word picture!?
