Goodbye, My Love

Goodbye, My Love: An Original Poem

I walk

Into the

Graveyard,

Afraid of what I am about to

See.

I know seeing the

Tombstone

Again makes it

Real.

Part of me still

Cannot accept that this

Is not a

Nightmare.

But I

Walk.

I notice countless

Rusted tombstones and the

Decaying flowers that

Surround them.

I try not to

Think

About all the

Lost people below these

Tombstones.

So I simply

Walk.

I walk until I

Reach his

Tombstone.

I want to

Gather the

Words to say

Something,

But there

Are not enough

Words in any language to

Describe how I

Feel.

He made this

World

Worth living in, and

Without him,

There is

No point

In saying

Or doing

Or feeling

Anything.

So all I say is this:

I still miss you.

And I’m sorry I

Was not enough to

Keep you

Here.

But you were

Enough for me.

I love you, and I can’t

Wait to see you

Again.

I hope you haven’t

Forgotten me.

I guess this is my

Goodbye.

It still does not
Feel right.

I wrote this original poem in poetry club today. My fall break was a disaster. I went through a lot, and this really helped me get some emotion out. Yes, the situation is fiction, but the emotions are very real. Thanks for listening.
