Goodbye Poems | Examples of Goodbye Poetry

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...

When we say goodbye, Time will not stand still. Life moves on as it always has, Forsaking my own will. Don’t try to feel sad— I’ll know it’s all a lie. You didn’t love me while alive; Don’t pretend to care when I die. I was a burden to so many, In my youth and old age. I’d rather go out quietly Than force a false...

Death walks over, boots quiet on the bar floor, pulls up a stool like we’ve met before. He tips his hat, cold eyes, tired grin. Says, “It’s time, friend.” I just nod, signal the bartender with a raised chin. "Two drinks for the road." I say it like a prayer, like a dare, like I’ve still got something left in the tank even if I don’t. He doesn’t rush...

The sleepy begonias undulating slightly so undisturbed leaned forward to encourage and wish me good fortune, while the apricot trees spread around their strong aroma, a dazzling daylight was rising from the majestic mount; a soft voice rose from the next room, it was mamma calling me: I sprung from my bed in disorder without feeling grumpy, the alarm playing Mozart's...

I hate that I hurt you. How could I? Tears were dropped with Our future inside. How could we know a certain forever would become an "It's enough"? Enough pain, enough never-ending loops of what we should do or what’s best. Fish biting tails. My insecurities drove you insane. Maybe insanity is what gave you patience and faith. My ups and downs, you got...
