My darling.

I guess this time is the last,

My darling.

And the night we shared,

Is over,

My Darling.

Through the words I sung,

My darling,

I'd have thought you'd know,

We're ending,

My Darling.

Is this a better note,

My Darling,

Than the one before that,

I'd left for you,

My Darling.

Are these words enough,

My Darling,

To finally satisfy you,

I hope so,

My Darling

When I leave this time,

My Darling,

It'll be the last,

I'm done,

My Darling.

So here's to you,

My Darling,

Even if you were poison,

Burning my lungs,

My Darling

For all that you made me,

My Darling,

Even though I'm bitter,

Thank you,

My Darling.

I had the word bitter in my mind half way through and it just so happened to be written at the end. I liked it. Bitter and raw makes for a great ending to a relationship I have herd. Someone told me it makes it less painful to leave.

Never a fun goodbye. But sometime needed.
"So here's to you,
My Darling,
Even if you were poison,
Burning my lungs,
My Darling"
I understand the lines above. Thank you Roy for sharing the excellent poetry.

I like it. I like the use of "My Darling" in each stanza. It is at a bittersweet endearment in the case of this poem.

Well done.

[Michaela Moerke]

Heart breaking yet at the same time so strong, the courage and passion is radiating through every word, truly breathtaking
Remorse, regret, and longing are burning throughout the poem.
You did it again Roy

This is interesting. I like the overall message and it's really strong. I need to read it a few more times to see whether the amount of My Darlings in it distracts me from the message, our makes it sink in. On the first read, I didn't like it but the more I read it, the more I like it. Either way, overall I do like this piece as well. Great job
