As You Go

C. Love
As you go
I've attached my heart to yours
Parting you take a piece of me with you

As you go
I find myself at a loss for words
Trying to convey my angst to you

As you go
You take my best friend with you
The one in which I can confide

As you go
A portion of my confidence wanes
Missing the encouragement you've supplied

As you go
Begrudgingly I open the door for you to leave
As it shuts it rattles and shakes me inside

As you go
I collapse consumed with grief now seen
Feelings I've worked so hard to hide

As you go
I hear loneliness beckoning me
Telling me now I'm all by myself

As you go
Watching your outline grow smaller
Tears fall and can't be helped

As you go
It's difficult to even look you in the eye
Your leaving I would never choose

As you go
This place inside my heart belongs to you
Be assured no one can fill your shoes

As you go
I'm excited for your future prospects
Understanding you must leave me behind

As you go
The love held for you will never diminish
For it transcends all distance and time

    Honest, beautifully written poem. I hate goodbyes. I don't think I'll ever be good at dealing with them.

    Sad, but the understood sacrifice is always rewarding.

    I know this feeling all too well... It's hard to say goodbye to someone that you love, even when they are embarking on a new and exciting journey. Nicely done!

    Well written I felt every emotion in this poem and the overall theme of it being hard to watch someone go when deep inside you truly love them.

    Cool yet sad. Reminds me of Michael W. Smith's "Friends are friends forever".
