There are many. Look for William Staffords poem, "Traveling Through the Dark", Emily Dickinson's poem "Because I Could Not Stop for Death", or Edgar Allen Poe's "Annabel Lee".

This one is about painful divorce after several years:
"Thirty-Five Years Later He Was Gone"
- Nicholas Gordon
Thirty-five years later he was gone,
Leaving her with just an empty hole
Where once her life had been. Bereft of meaning,
She rode the ancient fury of her grief.
So many years of loving him, a garden
Dissolved into a wild, wasted sea!
So much of life now waiting to be buried,
Poisoned, lying putrid in her heart!
And yet she could do nothing for awhile
But lie upon her bed of writhing pain,
Knowing that in time she would be healed,
But never, never quite completely whole.
Always there would be this frozen anger
Waiting to be placed upon the table.
No matter her attempts to be forgiving,
She would again consume that bitter meal!
And even in the sunshine of her laughter,
Her life returned to her by time and love,
Even in the meadows of her joy,
There still would be the place he left behind.
enjoy.

Off the top of my head, though it's not a poem, I like Offsprings' "Gone Away".

Well here is one I made:
I almost got excited when you said we would talk much more.
I almost got excited wen you said you'd show up at my door.
I'm sorry that I almost got excited when you said you really cared.
I feel stupid that I almost got excited when you said you'd be there.
I try and try not to get excited when I'm wishing I'd be in your arms.
So excited that I would be with you and out of harm.
I guess I've learned when you get me excited you let me down.
Then I'm not so excited because no one is around.
So If it excites you to hear the sound of me crying.
Guess your in luck
Because to get excited that would be dumb as ****.
