Leaving Poems | Examples of Leaving Poetry

When feelings war

By evening light of crimson 
Moonlight dabbled through the trees.
Formed shapes of dark and shadow climbed and crawled and followed me. 

Weary eyes did gaze on distance. 
Though views faded as minutes left.
The seat was waiting to comfort - it knew my walk too well.

Silence could be found though the dabbling water would not stay

Luminance for the Leaving

To open your heart
in this predatory world—
is to pour starlights 
into hands that may 
never intend to stay.

And if they do leave—
as some daemons do—
perhaps the glows you bestow
will illuminate their quiet violence
through every future
abandon.

Why the Shadow Departed

Have you ever stood still—
noticing the sudden absence
of what once followed you everywhere?

We think we know the reason.
We stitch guesses into tidy shapes,
as if they could fill the hollow
left behind.
But truth is slippery—
most times,
we can’t hold it at all.

We are meant to lift each other,
not pile stones in the way
of someone else’s climb.

So—
gentleness can outlast

The Autumn Leaves

The Autumn leaves me here to ~ fall ~ — 
my crutches that begin firstly
where the tremors ripe from fire drawl 
the Autumn leaves

the season's on girl's skin timely — 
~ leaves~: her heart a maybe for all
burning coldly, coldly burning — 

trees without leaves are not as tall,
I never wanted my deluge.
within the gold

Happily Ever After

Once upon a time long gone …
The reigning queen let out a yawn,
And stood up from her regal throne
To trample down the hall alone

She ripped the crown from out her hair
And flung it out the window there,
It tumbled down the castle wall …
No knight or king did hear it fall

And off the ground it did

The World That Lost

The old streets, the old cars
The flowing river that won't stop far
The memories seeking through tears
The old paper ,all tattered and cleared

The music that fills time
The glowing star ,What a divine!
The literature, the song
The jolly old self that never returned

The world dark with humor
The very one that withered
The rose in between the pages
The radiant sun

Squall's Godspeed

Clouds heartshaped breaking
The downpours between us separating

Wrong to say I am in love
Wrong to seep in with this water

that's kissing and falling.
God, you drip so much into me.

The petrichor ~ on me ~ you fear
The petrichor ~ on you ~ you fear

The sky's cracks will slowly heal to blue
I will remember tight each tear for

discordant notes

This morning we jogged early
I was back in my flat by six-thirty
From my tenth floor view of the Charles River basin,
The morning was incandescently flushed by the peach-colored sun.
The transparent clouds seemed stylistically stained, artfully workshopped,
which offered a softened, Tiffany glass effect wholly worthy of worship.

I can’t stop to admire it. I’m jamming things into

Heavenly light new song version

An end of life prayerful song!

Heavenly Light

Dark days have come....
my life is ending
My days are numbered...
but, I'm unafraid

I have no regrets...
except I must leave her
My days are numbered...
but, I'm unafraid

So don't you worry,
don't fret about me...
I'll always be with you...
in your...memory


Chorus
Heavenly light...shine down upon me
Shine on my pathway...to eternity
Oh Heavenly light...shine down upon me
My life's

Even in Pieces, I Stayed Yours

English Rhyming Translation
© Krishika Upadhyay | 2025

I’m breaking down, in lashes' shade,
In silent dreams, I wish I stayed.
I try to rise, on roads that smile,
But thorns have gripped my feet a while.

Yes, thorns are biting where I tread,
And tears now rest where sleep once spread.
It feels I’ll shatter, fade away,
Or lose myself in you someday.

I

The Departing of the Heart

The Departing of The Heart 

Salutations for the sound of mind and poverty of heart 
Reparations that don’t come through in time to rectify the start 
Commiserations for the ones who find it hardest to eventually part 
Palpitations of another heart that cannot perceive the concept that it must depart 

Military consequences that send the

Volcano Mind

My mind simmers—
a volcano,
waiting.
Maybe it erupts,
maybe it just holds,
a silent threat behind every blink.

It takes everything—
to stay still,
to not burst
when no one else feels the fire
licking the edge of my thoughts.

Decisions burn before they’re made—
Is it right?
Am I right?
Will this moment
become another
mess to clean
alone?

Life spills like paint
no one asked for—
a blur of colors no one

And That Was It

So this is how it ends, then —
Not with thunder, not with rain,
But with a sentence cold and plain,
And me, standing in the ache again.

I had said, “This is my last try,”
With every ounce of love and cry,
Swore on the ones I hold most dear,
Still, you chose to disappear.

You didn’t fight, not even flinch,
You let

Good Knight, Lyrics

Guess who just had a baby
Then hearing about another death of a celebrity
Say hello to a group of friends 
But look down and see I’m mute again
So Put in my password and username
But everyone logs into a different game 
What? Am I the shadow?
Just An upvote, a like? Part of a brand? 
Yes, please let

Letters from Borrowed Ground
'Part One'

To: Myself (Three Years Ago)  
Date: Every Night  
Status: Never Finished  
Focus: Warning

Dear Dreamer,

Tonight, I dig up buried footsteps,
each stone beneath my feet heavy with goodbye.
The coffee grows cold in my cup
as I write this at 3 AM,
watching snow fall on a street
whose name I still can't pronounce.
