The Only Way to Say Goodbye

by Katrina Boblina   Mar 7, 2006


*I guess this poem seems a little self-centered and selfish, but who isnt? I miss you Kyle!*

I always thought
I'd be the first to let go.
The first to cave in
that thought was long ago.

I never even began to think
that these thoughts went through your mind
you seemed so at peace
and always able to unwind.

but you let go...
and I never thought you would.
I thought you would always be there
and I'd see you whenever I could.

what went through your mind?
at that last split second.
did you regret doing it?
or still want life to end?

I guess I wasn't the first to leave
it was you...
and I have to say
goodbye to you too.

I'm sorry the only way
I could really say goodbye
was through a half a**ed poem
about the way I wish
it was me,
not you,
to die

    I liked it, nice little rhyme, i liked how it was absent in the last stanza, i think that gives it more effect. good job.

    Wow... Powerful and emotional. Nicely done. If I may suggest, I'd break up the last line "about the way I wish it was me, not you, to die" to add more punch / impact to the poem.

    about the way I wish
    it was me,
    not you,
    to die

    That's only my opnion of course. Great write though... keep writing. 5/5
