A Hard Goodbye Poem by Brianna Trombley
A Hard Goodbye
His dark brown hair
His pleading eyes
Begging me
Not to say goodbye
I explain to him
It’s for his sake
This love of ours
A big mistake
I don’t want to hurt him
I feel so bad
I can see it in his eyes
He looks so sad
Do I tell him the truth
Or spare him with lies
My morals and values
I can’t compromise
So here it is
The truth comes out
My love has faded
Of that there’s no doubt
My feelings before
Are no longer there
I look at him again now
All he can do is stare
His eyes are shimmering
Wet with tears
As he realizes
His greatest fears
I wish I had known
From the start
That I was going to break
This poor kids heart
I know there is something
I must say more
To relinquish this pain
unto him, I have bore
I look down now
Avoiding his stare
I must go on
Because I care
“My time with you
Was truly great
Every memory
Every date”
“Because it wouldn’t be fair
Now, it must end
I cant keep doing this
I can no longer pretend”
“My love for you
Is unfortunately gone
Staying with you now
Could only be wrong”
“Yet, for you
I still do care
Even though this love
I no longer share”
“Don’t be sad
You’ll be okay
I’m sorry if forever
You remember this day”
“I know that you love me
And you always will
First love is always so true
So real”
“Lets leave it at that
As we part
The feeling of first love
Will remain in our hearts”
I looked at him once more
As he started to go
Hope still in his eye
He let out a no
“You cant leave me now
I love you too much
I’ll do anything
To regain your love”
Tears now in my eyes
I gave him one last kiss
Thinking to myself
You, I will miss
I walk away
Him yelling my name
The love we shared
Replaced by pain
I knew in my heart
Love for him could never again be
It had escaped my grasp
I wish he could see
He will get over this
Of that I know
For another girl
His love shall grow

Brianna I really liked your story and I do know how hard it is to say goodbye, especially when we are the one's doing the breaking up... Welcome to this site... Karin Anderson
I wrote a similiar poem once from the opposite perspective and even though it was a super dark time for me and i made alot of mistakes i came out the other side a better man. But not a day goes by im not reminded of how close and special we were...great poem hope both of u are doing well
Hmmm, that makes me feel sad. But you can't do anything when you're heart is no longer in it. You know in the end that you did the right thing.
EXCELLENT poem..............love it.........a few stanzas reminds me of rihanna's unfaithful........... BRILLIANT one.......... ;)
Brianna a really poigant poem crafted with flow, precision, and emotion, , words not from the pen but from the heart...a poetess at her best....
it happens all the time i love the way you told the story of a gentle breakup, such pain for something so simple
