6 Poems with the word Goodbye

· by · in

Under the weight of a young sunset,

You promised to teach me tonight,

To guide my hands to the right spots,

and Kiss like how lovers do.

Before we ever even touched;

Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye

You chanted, as for the last time,

We let our fingers slip past.

–

The moon scrambled,

hesitating to leave so soon,

To say goodbye when

His love was just ready to rise.

–

Emerald and Sapphire;

He shone like starlight and

Laughed like harmony.

He plucked daises and

Hummed along with his slow gait.

Then he said hello and swallowed the unknown,

He said a goodbye to me,

He could not remember,

His eyes were broken,

His eyes were gone.

–

Hallelujah!

God,

Today we get to say Goodbye,

I’ll,

Never see you but,

Promise,

You’ll keep a room for me,

Just

I’ve never felt so free;

This

Must be what it feels to be infinite in

Time.

–

I pretended my scars were medals,

something to be proud of,

And razor blades were candy,

something sweet to enjoy,

I pretended that always being sad,

was like always having a best friend around;

I never thought to say goodbye.

–

you left me,

with roses and punk rock,

with a careless tattoo,

with a smelly sweatshirt-

two sizes too big,

with endless ghosts in the room,

with loneliness hiding in the corners,

with a goodbye that smothered me.
