Farewell Poems | Examples of Farewell Poetry

Days Alone Here I stayed when the silence broke— the air, a breath that barely woke me. Your name lit up my phone, but the meaning felt long gone. I cried alone to feel the sorrow, a night too dark to hold tomorrow. The rain stood still, in borrowed time, each drop a pause in my decline. Soft, endless, unheard—I spoke. The truth was raw, my voice near broke. No comfort came, no hand to...

There are two days I know Yesterday and today Yesterday laid the cross I bear Cross I dared not to wear Forever we stay, they say, But the thorns stares away In the pasture last known to stray, Cradle land, a means to an end Forgive me if I stray to forever land For my kin, I bared my soul to...

A Story of Santosh that was entangled in grief It was just another day, he thought He stepped out of the house with his family to return Unaware of the danger awaiting at the accident spot He and his wife, children went out jolly, talking about They got onto the bike and went for a ride as usual Oh,...

Where did you go Where have you gone Please tell me you will be back You won’t be long Or are you in your little cottage Above the clouds in the sky A place where love and contentment Are always in full supply Where colourful flowers forever bloom Music and laughter are blissfully heard The sun always shines Kindness is the unwritten word Where pure joy surrounds...

He sits in the back. Not because he wants to— but because he’s tired of being picked last when he dares to show up at all. You don’t see him. Not really. He’s there, though— in the bathroom stall during lunch, because his gut’s staging a protest. IBS, the silent screamer, writhing beneath his ribs like worms made of fire. They say, “It’s probably just nerves.” As if nerves...

It was sunny the day our hearts broke away. A decade has passed—but some wounds ignore clocks. The news bloomed like bruises on a nation’s chest. Shoreham stood still. Time forgot how to move. Eleven men. Men of mornings and small routines. Lunchboxes. Laughter. Motorbikes. Some had children. Others were children—still. And one… one kept wildflowers on his phone. Too shy to say, “This made me...

The white light across this man made lake gives me something to watch. As the people i thought liked me enough to be around me have the time of their lives without. The loneliness brings me more comfort than being around a batch of judging eyes that their smiles don’t reach. Their botched happiness is obvious to...

I thought it was love, but I guess I was blind, You just played pretend and toyed with my mind. I gave you my heart, my soul, every year. Returned was your silence, your distance, and your love never here. I thought maybe one day you’d love me the same-how foolish to know I was your puppet on a...

I got lost coming home tonight To my surprise, the room was empty You were not there, sweetie The bed was made and the floor was bright. I miss you, I miss you dearly The room was very cold and sad Like a lover who’s desperate and mad Frankly, my heart felt weak and empty. Your shadow was absent Your silhouette was inexistent You were...

In the beginning two lovers were born In the campus parking lot behind the student union They clung together for 60 years Until one day my wounded bird knew Her broken hip would not allow her to fly again I was too old and weak to pick her up off the floor When she fell...she said she wanted to go to...

Watching the empty streets As a heavy rain wash the dirty town. Deep darkness drape the drives That lead to dead ends. Drafts of wind dash hanging pots, Ruin is the reign of the time. She barely breathed a farewell. No whisper weaving a soft adieu Not even a hug or a parting kiss. My heart echoes a hollow hum. It beats like the harsh...

Grown apart we became after a long while, Remember those days? Daily talks upon hours, endless laughter, countless stories, shared struggles, emotional break- throughs, as we both sit next to each other in silence. I always remember my best buddy, the one who saw me when others left without looking twice and held my hand with genuine love. A rare gem, one of its kind The time continues to pass us on, memories...

Fading from this earth I am A mere shadow in the sky. As my image disappears Through the white clouds flying high. Do not weep because you see In your heart with you I stay, Locked within your memory. ...

Sweet summer is kissing goodbye, embracing the harvest moon nights, summer birds bid adieu and fly, sweet summer is kissing goodbye, earth’s bosom heavy with a sigh, tears of maple glow in moonlight, sweet summer is kissing goodbye, embracing the harvest moon nights. ...
