Free at last
I heave a sigh
The past is the past
I bid you goodbye
The truth can hurt
I won't deny
But this couldn't last
So I said goodbye
The guilt, the pain
Sometimes I try
To walk up to you
And say it, goodbye
Did you expect me?
I ask myself why
My silence, you see
It meant goodbye
You can move on now
I hope you'll try
And understand why
It had to be goodbye

Okay you are like awesome!!!!!!! This poem was amazing, and your flow was great. I feel like people will be able to relate to your poem. And as a writer I feel like one should be able to write something that people can feel or make them feel. You did just that.
When you mentioned,
"Did you expect me?
I ask myself why
My silence, you see
It meant goodbye"
I felt like that part was great, because sometimes the truth can hurt. But anyway this poem was great. Keep writing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow. Amazing! You've got poetry down! There are a couple things I'd like to say for possible improvement.

You need to have all normal punctuation in poems. You are missing tons of commas, periods, semi-colons, etc. A couple examples of this that you could change are after "I heave a sigh," you should have a period. After "And say it," it be better to have a colon than a comma. Another example is you need a period after "I ask myself why," and a comma after "My silence, you see." Correct punctuation would make it easier to read and understand
I, too, have had to say goodbye. I've had to move on from others saying goodbye, but unlike the person in the poem, I wasn't happy about it, and it wasn't really a/my choice. I had to say goodbye to some of my best friends, but the most painful thing is, the ones that decided to leave never said goodbye; they just left. It's been one of the most painful things in my life, but I have had to move on, or at least try. I've had to try and understand why it had to be that way. So thank you for writing this poem and capturing those feelings. I have also written poetry on those emotions, but mine are quite a bit more negative than yours XD.
This is awesome. Thanks for sharing your art on YWS.
This is a good poem that I enjoyed reading. I like the general rhyming scheme of abac and abcb as it creates a nice flow to the poem. I like how it progresses from a gentile idea of farewell and guilt to a stronger feeling of parting. When you say I heave a sigh it somehow makes me read the poem in a sigh matching the attitude of leaving. This is very good as it leaves a personal impact on the reader. I feel when you say The truth can hurt, it makes me relate earlier on when you say The past is the past. This is a very good aspect of the poem which many poets lack as they are too focused on the structure of the poem than on the actual story. Moving on to structure I like how you have repeated the word goodbye. This makes the poem memorable and it makes it easier for the reader to know the importance of the idea that the speaker is leaving someone they love/know as a good friend. Maybe to improve make sure there is a pattern for the rhyming scheme and it's not all over the place. Another thing to improve upon is how much punctuation there is as there is hardly any. This means that it has only a few breaks for the reader.
Apart from that, very good-well done!
Godly
Thanks for reading and analying!
Hey.
Just like snazzy said the part isn't exactly following the rhyme scheme of the poem.
Other than that I think it is pretty well written and I can totally relate to the feel you're expressing through it.
Personally, I reallylike the lines,
"Sometimes I try
To walk up to you
And say it, goodbye
Did you expect me?
I ask myself why
My silence, you see
It meant goodbye"
Those are something I can truly relate to with my personal life and i feel they are well written.
Over all I love your style of writing and yoyr way of expressing yourself and also the theme of the poem.
Keep writing!
Cheers!
I love this poem!! Just a couple of nitpicks though....
By the way....."the guilt," What did you do ComicalCrafty!!!
Just kidding!
Great poem! I loved reading it! Keep writing! 
"The guilt, the pain
sometimes I try
To walk up to you
And say it, goodbye"
I really like this part! Just it seems like the rhythm breaks up a tad bit on the third line in this part. It isn't a big thing, if other readers don't mind, just keep it how it is!:)
Also, I am not to good at poems, but I would add a few commas at the end of some of the lines like-
"the guilt, the pain
sometimes I try,
to walk up to you
and say it, Goodbye."
Again, not a very big thing!

Yeah, you're right - it doesn't really follow the same rhyming scheme as the other parts.... I'm going to wrack my brain for a better alternative! And thanks for the tip about punctuation. Poetry formatting isn't my strongest subject.
Thanks so much for reading and reviewing!
I like this... a lot
thumbs up!!!

I don't have time to review right now. I'm going to be honest, I read some of your other work and I didn't like it, but this was very good. I'll review it later.
Cool.
I understand - my writings aren't for everybody!
