Goodbye

My silent recession
My coldest confession
The things I never
Would try to describe

My hatred unwavered
Proved to be greater
Than all the secrets
I just couldn't hide

Now with nothing to lose
How could I choose?
My desperate clinging
To all I hold dear

The catalyst clutch
Of bitter untouched
And all I have left
Is my only fear

So just say goodbye, dear
It's okay, don't you cry, dear
Maybe someday you'll be
Free of this fight

It's not as bad as it seems
I'll be there in your dreams
And before you forget me:
I love you, goodnight...

    I'm unsure as to what event might have triggered this kind of poem. None the less it is beautiful. It really wasn't at all what i was expecting.

    At first, I thought it was just another one of those cliched romance poems. And in a sense, your poem was a bit cliched. However, the way you chose to describe it (My silent recession/ My coldest confession- that just blew me away) was unique. You could improve this by completely weeding this poem out of its hackneyed phrases that are repeated over and over in all love poems ("all the secrets i couldn't find", and i felt that the last two stanzas were kind of bland) but, right now, i also think it's really good the way it is.
    however, i also felt that the ending was a bit abrupt. i thought that the sudden line of "i love you, goodnight..." kind of took away from the effect and the suspense you were trying to build up through the poem.
    but other than that, i thought this was a wonderful piece overall. keep it up!

    Beautifully written. You are an amazing poet and deserve many many many many (x100) applauses for this wonderful peice. The way you've written it is elegant and yet brings sorrow in such a flowing way. Very very very well written.

    I hate good-byes. Parting is such sweet sorrow. Nice write- not what I was expecting at all.
