Good bye cruel world, as some might say
I worked hard, cried and even began to pray
Nothing worked even though I tried
I was on my knees and swallowing my pride
Then I thought to myself, what I would do
If I left this world without you
What would I say to make you see?
That you were the most important thing to me
Maybe to write this poem so that you would know
You were the woman who always stole the show
Maybe i'll leave a journal so you can read
That you were the one I truly fancied
Maybe i'll take a photo for you to have
To let you remember your other halve
Oh forget all that ill just go up to the sky
So, all you have to do is wave good-bye

Poetry: Good-bye
by Jon Coe
Bring me my slippers and bring me my pipe
I'm off to retirement, had enough of the hype
Turn on the television and pour
by Sierra White
I cannot say,
It won't come out,
I wish it were far away,
But the time has come,
For us to part,
And I'll just sob and
The time is here to leave this place, never to return.
Everyone, they make mistakes, and this is how they learn.
The struggles
Petals wade through air
Something more permanent remains:
Leaves
But everlasting are the roots
That we grew here
Together.
Don’t
It wasn't working for you but I was content
It wasn't good enough, so away I went
You lied about us and the way I made you
