Goodbye Poems | Examples of Goodbye Poetry

Flower for an Empty Grave We gather where the silence grows, Where wind and memory softly blow. A stone, a name, a date, a place- No voice remains, no trace of face. Yet still we come, with hands full-grown Of flowers plucked from gardens sown In grief and love-a solemn bloom To grace the silence of a tomb. We know the truth: the grave...

How did you care to love someone like me Whose name is burdensome for you to bear A boy whose reputation suffers glee And whose tomorrow uncertainties scare How did you care to love someone like Wems Who wants to turn you a fornicatress Whose plans have only been to use condoms And treats you like nothing beyond mistress How did you care...

Roots in unseen air, Dreams rise where no soil is bare— Freedom lights the heart, Growth chooses its own true way, Dreams weave threads in silent play. ________________________________________________________________ Author’s Note: Roots unseen, yet possibility stirs. Trust quiet moments—freedom sparks growth, weaving dreams in time. ...

I feel all pasts, As if they were yesterday, Decades are but minutes to my minds and feels. As if I were still two-tens and five, Rather than three-tens and two. Flashbulbs pulsed to songs played when youth was not yet known as youth. Is today youth? How could it be when youth was then. I still feel me in your arms, And you...

I'll never forget Vs 1 Your things are gone, You've moved away... I only have myself to blame... I call your number, but it's changed... I can't get over, all of my shame Bridge Why can't you please forgive me? I just can't live without you near me! Chorus I'll never forget, just how much we cared... I'll never forget, all the love we shared... I'll never...

Set me free to love again— You’re holding me much too tight. And if you won’t turn me loose, I think I’ll lose my mind. Because you don’t really love me, But you hold me anyway. You refuse to set me free— Just something that you own. I’ll try again later. Some other day, perhaps. Right now I’m much too tired, And don’t feel all that...

When we parted at the airport you left a part of you behind, Your scent Lingering still on my shirts, my clothes my hands. I crushed them to my face and breathed you in, my eyes closed, remembering you. You smelled like lemons and flowers and strawberries. You filled the room, every room with the scent of you,then...

All I want in this whole world is someone to love, Someone to hold, to cherish, to dream of. All I need is someone to comfort me— To stand by my side, to help set me free. Someone to talk to, to whisper things to, Someone, my dear… someone like you. Someone who'll love me, and I’ll love them back, Someone who’s...

2025.06.15 It was quite a while ago, I came here and wrote, "BB was not here" and "JJ is here On Queen Birthday 10 Jun 2024". These words were written on the sand On the the shores of both sides of the pier. As time passed on, JJ sat and watched The waves washed up onto the words, Slowly encroached, engulfed and wiped Them...

I watch it slowly leave the river and enter the Bay, its bow parting the calm with an efficient quiet. Another hour and the ship will be cutting through the swells of the open sea. Men in orange overalls lean on railings at the stern looking back over a long wake. I try to imagine what thoughts are washing across their minds. Perhaps it's the...

1091 days. I remember having covid lying lifeless on my couch. There was no recent thought of you, as your presence within my life, I had already been without. I was in so much physical pain. I had no idea that spiritual pain could cancel that out, breaking, and weakening every connection from me...

You lit up the room, Raising the vibe, Made sure that you always, Protected your tribe. Way too young to leave, This shouldn't be true, Never once did I imagine, Doing life without you. Such a kind soul, Through and through, A devastating loss to so many, Who knew and loved you. My hearts been torn apart, Leaving an aching scar, You're the hardest goodbye, I've said so far...

She wore perfume that smelled like a Sunday lie, And lips like rusted knives— A woman like that don’t settle, She just wanders through men’s lives. I gave her my keys and my winter coat, She gave me a goodbye note, Hidden within a half-full bottle And a half-finished murder quote. She was last seen...

I had not woken from sleep. Feeling weightlessness, I peeked, observing my body laid decease. Slowly arisen to uncalmly peace, realizing that I had passed in sleep. Abnormal emotions so confused. Just a nightmare I wished to be true. I went to bed with just the flu. I awakened! And instantaneously surrounded, by a warm aurora train like vessel, hovered beyond me. with an anointing ticket calling...
