Goodbye Poems

Popular Goodbye Poems
Unearth me or not, your choice
by John Hughes

No one wants to know me and unearth the beauty that is me
So why should I care about you
I’m someone that cares so much for the wrong people
But I’ve reached out to the others
We have decided that we don’t care to know you anymore
You know the worst thing you can do to a man is lock him in a cage and leave him with no one to speak to
The universe looks out for me, and it had to cage me because I was foolishly looking in the wrong places for love
It knew I would work endlessly and fruitlessly
But I’m caged looking for the keys to my heart but I hear the dead silence of you and my despair drums inside my brain
You’re torturers of great skill and I’m saying goodbye to you

Goodbye
by Robert Creeley

She stood at the window. There was
a sound, a light.
She stood at the window. A face.

Was it that she was looking for,
he thought. Was it that
she was looking for. He said,

turn from it, turn
from it. The pain is

Death Of a Relative
by Randy Johnson

My papaw died twenty-five years ago today.
It's been a quarter of a century since he passed away.
When he took a new medication, he became sick.
When Papaw took it, he turned out to be allergic.
If it hadn't been for Papaw, I wouldn't exist.
He died a long time ago and he's still missed.

(Dedicated to Burley Johnson who died on August 3, 1994.)

Butterfly Beats
by Evelyn Judy Buehler

Autumn is golden
mirrored in still glinting lake
Sunbeams through plum trees
Nature's so long symphony
when birds soar in sympathy

Tiffany skies chills
pink robin is still singing
to an empty hall
Last beats of butterfly wings

Change of Scenery
by Frangipani Rhett

Note: This one is sad for me... Anyways. Let me know if you like it. Thanks.

Why are you going?
His little voice said
I didn't know how to answer
The question I so dread

I don't know why I'm going
I don't want to leave
Told my little boy it was time

Dissipating Exchange
by Aditi Hayaran

Showering messages day and night,
That was my excited self
Seen the messages as soon as they came in my sight.

Just realised you're just responding,
Am I forcing you to talk?
The thought is haunting.

Trying to fix the things again,
That was my fool self

Shattered
by Evelyn Judy Buehler

Chaos color blast
blue sun is traveling fast
past a blood red moon.
Creatures scurry for cover
on the dark side of summer.

Red tailed comets streak
Paisley colors growing weak,
Midst music, dance, laughs!
Night has destroyed amber day;

Garnet
by Evelyn Judy Buehler

Gadabout butterflies
glitter like red sunset.
Gem sparkles in the west.
Gracious nature provides
glamour hues in winter.
Glad robin sings, lustrous.
Goodbye, last robustness.

A New Car
by Frangipani Rhett

She didn't know what she was doing
On her own to buy a car
There was only interest offered
From her tyranical abuser

Lying silently, draped over her bed
She tried to plan it out
How she'd know which car to buy and buy it
Before she gave in to her dad's "support"
