Rhyme scheme is ABCDB. I had a hard time ending this poem so I have to apologize.


"Goodbye"
Tonight was my goodbye to us,
My vigil to our broken hearts.
I put everything to do with you away,
And now, at least, I know where I can find you,
And all your broken parts.

I packed that simple white box full,
Stuffed with breakup attempts and crumpled notes.
But the train tickets stood out the most,
All those Saturday mornings, anticipating you,
Passing by the ocean, with all its drifting boats.

All those abandoned break up notes,
I should have given them to you to prevent this.
I could have spared you so much hurt,
I could have spared your battered heart,
I should have told you something was amiss.

And I’m scared to admit that I miss your touch,
I miss your hands being held in mine,
The rise and fall of your chest as you were breathing.
I haven’t forgotten how everything felt, although I wish I could,
And even now, it seems, I can feel our fingers intertwine.

This inner torment that I have created is tearing me apart,
It all hurts so much, but I’m the only one to blame.
None of this is your doing; you didn’t deserve this at all.
I’m simply the most self-centered person you’ll ever meet,
But now that you’re gone, all my days seem the same.
