#leaving poems on Hello Poetry

Josephine Wilea May 2020

If you so strongly believe that
Humanity is better under pressure together
Then why do you keep leaving?

Wrote it on her wall in rainbow bubble letters.

I don't mind you leaving
But I don't like how I still remember your smell

I don't mind you leaving
But I don't like how I still want to see you smile

I don't mind you leaving
But I don't like how I still go to store to see you

I don't mind you leaving
But I don't like how I still order your favourite

I don't mind you leaving
But I don't like how I still write to you

I don't mind you leaving
But I don't like how I still I haven't forgotten about you

I don't mind you leaving
But I do mind how you left me with memories full of you everywhere

I don't mind you but i mind myself

does anyone else?

does anyone else
get that pressure in your chest
it hurts to breathe
and your pulse is quick?

does anyone else
get a lump in your throat
it won't be pushed down
and your throat feels raw?

does anyone else
dream of happy days
a dog and a beach
and the smell of the ocean?

does anyone else
not want to die
but not want to lie
about the life they are living?

does anyone else
want to be someone else
want to be somewhere else
want to be something else?

Leaving

People regret leaving the hands of their loved one's
While I regret leaving my exam paper empty

These Options

You say I should go be happy
In a city far away,
And one day I'll be alone there
But I'm not allowed to stay ---
Because life with me is easy,
The same thing every day
Sometimes you wish for me to live here
But you would leave me either way.

On leaving

My skin crawls in your presence now.
This aversion is painfully present,
deep-seated, inexorable.
My antipathy
I feel for you is
pushing
back.

Grinding away the
rind of my rib-cage,
I will not let the disease reach my
organs.
My fragile lungs
my tender heart.

The veil of insects and filth
lifted
upon realization that it is time for me to go.
Weaponizing insect repellent
for the pursuit of freedom.

Balloon

You’re just like a balloon
That I wanted so dearly
Like a child so amused
With the feeling and its hues.

One day as I watch you
As distant as always,
I didn’t know it was the day
You’ll be wanting to stay.

I’m the child, you’re my balloon
We’ll forever stay in tune;
I dance with you under the sun,
I dream of you under the moon.

One day you flew away,
Another child wanted you to stay.
You left me, empty and lonely;
Feeling the mark from your string.

stay

you wanna have it easy
see me before you leave

have that time be easy
not hear about my pain

what's the use
of this abuse

to see each other
spark my love for one another

to go home
and feel utterly alone

you say don't think of what's to come
enjoy before it's done

as if it would ease
that one more tease
that one more kiss
that feeling of bliss

you say rather now than later
you are right

let me leave now
rather than you leave later

Full of Parting's Feeling

In eastern hill, the lake is murky,
sky wearing crimson colour flurries.
There're rumors of a mysterious sage
Who could answer many worries.
I find I'm crowded full of parting's feelings,
Alas, he does not wish for healing.

a feeling more near

A type of whisper
A time where I could hear
A place that wasn’t so far
And a heart that wasn’t in fear
A home so full
And laughter so bright
We all wake up one day
We all have sleepless nights
A lingering feeling
From eyes such deceiving
A broken truth like never leaving
