I didn't know there
Could be a set date,
That somehow I was
Supposed to prepare
For a day like today.

I'm so used to people
Just leaving.
Sometimes no explanation,
No reason why.

Every time it's been
So random,
And I didn't see it coming.
But knowing that
You're leaving
Gives me a different feeling.

And even though I've known,
I still dread the moment
When I have to let you go.

I don't want to do this.
Please don't make me
Hug you one last time.
Yeah here's your key,
But I can't kiss you
Because the tears
Won't stop flowing within me.

When you walk out that door
I'll be screaming so silently
For you to come back to me.
But you won't hear me.

Damn I hate facing what I fear the most;
That I will be left alone.

How can people promise
That they'll never leave
When they always break
That promise to those they need?

I don't understand why
Everyone I love just
Disappears into thin air
And I'm left to pick up
The pieces of what
Was once there.
They forget that they ever cared,
But I can't forget that they were there.

I don't want to dread this moment,
When I have to let you go.

I don't want to do this.
Please don't make me
Hug you one last time.
Yeah here's your key,
But I can't kiss you
Because the tears
Won't stop flowing within me.

When you walk out that door
I'll be screaming so silently
For you to come back to me.
But you won't hear me.

Damn I hate facing what I fear the most;
That I will be left alone.

I will always be left alone...

wow....
This is something id love to set music to!

ty habitforming....i was actually writing it with a tune set in mind...lol...more of a song than a poem i guess.... wish i could write music... if u ever use it please credit me!!!

Wow, I really like that! I was there a year and a half ago, it still sucks but life goes on.

thank you to: MzEm , AngelLight , njmom05 , and CyPoet

I appreciate all of your comments and input on my writings/poetry/song lyrics. It's because of people's comments that I continue to write and post on here after all, so thank you all. And to njmom05, I'm glad to hear I'm not alone in this "farewell", and I'm also happy to hear that you are doing better now. Again, thank you all for reading.

I rarely read all the way through the poems, but every now and then one just catches my attention and it hits a cord within me. I am doing better, I am trying to let go and move on. But its hard when it sure felt like we were soulmates, but thankfully we had one amazing year together. We had a connection like I've never had with anyone and doubt I'll ever feel again.

This part "I don't want to dread the moment I have to let you go. And Damn I hate facing what I fear the most : that I will be left alone. I'm feeling this right there. But were not really alone thank you for sharing this today :)

I know how that is, to feel a connection with someone like that and knowing you'll never have that again...it's like a soul mate thing....It never does truly go away, but you have to move on (and I'm glad you have even though it is very hard)...I know how hard that can be and I'm sorry you've had to endure it... ....and thanks again for the compliment on my poetry

Thank you to carold
