Sorry, I should be able to offer you something better than this, but it is late... Check out some of the links below. My suggested poets are Jane Kenyon, Mary Oliver, June Jordan, and Nikki Giovanni. Try them too.

Playing, Laughing and joking around
We together made such a sound
Together always, two peas in a pod
Jumping and skipping and being a bit odd
I will always remember the sound of your voice
A sleepover? You were my first choice
Your jokes and faces created a smile
A smile that lasted quite awhile
From picnics to movies to walking the dogs
To dancing and singing and jumping on logs
But slowly at first, and then very fast
Time was ticking, and it couldn't last.
Something was wrong, as told by your face
So I suddenly stopped, loosing my pace
What was that? I couldn't have heard'.
You were leaving? Quite absurd!
I didn't believe it, it couldn't have been
We knew each other from way back when!
Maybe it was destiny, we'll never know
But I do remember when you had to go
A final sleepover was in place, our very last
We played and danced, we had such a blast
Then they drove up to take you away
To a faraway place where night turned to day
Parting our ways, the time had now come,
Nervously I chomped down on my gum
Then when you left I gave out a cry
As I knew we had waved our final goodbye.
Goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye
I must be leaving now
My only friend is an abrupt, eternal end
That comes from this here knife beside me
For where I will go I do not know
But please do not mourn me
I will come back another time
With a different face and a different rhyme
Goodbye, goodbye
I must be leaving now
The crimson blood will soon be gone
Don't be sorry
Don't be sad
For it was not you that was the cause
For I have no place to go, no one else to see
The memory of you will stay with me
Goodbye, goodbye
I must be leaving now
It is my time to go!

The 's' consonance is rather correct for a poem approximately the sea; if some thing, it must be enriched. The transition into technology fiction within the final couple of stanzas does not fairly fwork on the second. Ray Bradbury wrote equivalent poems that labored good; you would uncover a few steerage by means of digging by way of the ones. The poem is able however now not exceptional. It might advantage from being a bit of longer, however you would have got to take care to not simply reiterate what is already been mentioned.

not quite what your after, but a friend wrote this...
Wednesday morning at five o'clock as
the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would
say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen
clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor key
Stepping outside she is free.
She (We gave her most of our lives)
is leaving (Sacrificed most of our lives)
home (We gave her everything
money could buy)
She's leaving home after living alone
For so many years. Bye, bye
Father snores as his wife gets into her
dressing gown
Picks up the letter that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband
Daddy our baby's gone.
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly
How could she do this to me.
She (We never thought of ourselves)
is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves)
home (We struggled hard all
our lives to get by)
She's leaving home after living alone
For so many years. Bye, bye
Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far
away
Waiting to keep the appointment she
made
Meeting a man from the motor trade.
She What did we do that was wrong
is having We didn't know it was wrong
fun Fun is the one thing that
money can't buy
Something inside that was always denied
For so many years. Bye, bye
She's leaving home. Bye, bye

Heres one I just made just 4 u:
Somewhere, out there
you'll be saying hi
to a soft-light moon
hanging low in the sky
Somewhere, out there
you'll know that I care for you
'cuz the same moon that you see
I can see too

Roses are red Violets are blue When you wake up tomorrow I won't be with you.
