Good Bye

by Robert   Sep 1, 2004


Come place your palm on my chest,
Feel my heart pass life’s on going test.
Gaze into my brown eyes,
And see our demise.
Feel the warmth in my hand,
And know we have to depart this land.
Sink all of what you know to be real in me,
And understand why we have to be free.
For I am all that you see and hate,
And being together is not our lasting fate.
Our words speak of love and memories of bliss,
Yet it will be over after this goodbye kiss.
I have no regret in what love I felt for you,
And in my days of old know it was always true.
But what am I to say to the one I would give my life for,
What words would honor our love’s core.
I lift your head in haste for this time to go,
And letting go of you would be my heart’s lasting woe.
Shhh, don’t shed a tear for we knew this would come one day,
For I love you my dearest and goodbye for that is all I have to say.

    This is heartbreaking... i can really relate to it.. ... sometimes what we have is good but you know its not right..and you have to let it go...

    the emotion and feeling was very powerful.. and the flow was good.. although i think you forced a few words to rhyme.. but other than that i loved it.

    5/5

    ^^I love that...so moving and bittersweet, as is the whole piece.

    I thought this was beautifully written, the loss and pain is felt very clearly by the reader, while the flow and imagery combined make for a beautiful read.

    You should correct copy/ paste mistakes.
    This piece is filled with greatly described emotions and it is very touching. The ending adds great effect to the whole poem- the last two lines. I like the rhythm of this and amount of feelings that you managed to express through this poem.
