How do I say goodbye?
Leave you stunned we don’t see eye to eye
Speechless you stare
Wondering “Why don’t you care?”
What have you done to turn me away?
Why do I cry all day?
Cause you’re my friend and that’s all I find
When I look in my heart and in my mind.
A decade has passed since first we met
Life was good. I’ve no regrets
But, now I say “Good-bye”
And still, you keep wondering, “Why?”
How many times must I voice
I am incomplete, feeling I’ve no choice
I MUST end this pain
What more do you want me to explain?
“Good-bye! It’s over! Don’t persist!
Please understand I MUST insist
Let me go! Set me free!
Please, understand and let me be.

This was quite a contrast from Intraspection. I can hear the passionate plea as I read through this, so I think you have very successfully portrayed the emotional side of the poem. The rhyming scheme you have used is a difficult one to make work naturally, but you have done it quit well. Nice write, my friend.
