Goodbyes like...
Last Goodbye...
When gas jets light and cardboard burns
and you are reduced to a pile of ash
in an urn on a mantle,
is that the last goodbye?

Sad Goodbye...
I stare at the stone and your name cry’s out
for things left unsaid and deeds left undone.
I leave and weep, another sad goodbye.

Love, Amputated
You touched my wounds
and my skin healed over you
Now, surgically removed,
you itch like a phantom limb
I have to learn to ignore
and my skin healed over you
Now, surgically removed,
you itch like a phantom limb
I have to learn to ignore

Orphan
i.
Essence departed
an orphan I have become
grief-filled emotion
alone, I have come undone
… in passing of your spirit
ii.
Anguish shall not fade
vulnerable in your death
memories survive
yet in shadows, I’m bereft
… in my sleep, there is no rest

Found Your Obituary Online
They gave your ashes to the sea
I whispered goodbye into the salt air
still wondering why you didn't tell me
it came back

First Farewell
Mommy is resting
where? I don't see her in bed
in heaven, with God
okay, when will she be back?
6 year old robbed of goodbye
where? I don't see her in bed
in heaven, with God
okay, when will she be back?
6 year old robbed of goodbye

Perpetual Parting
God I miss you
Oh to see you again
Or breathe in your scent
Death be damned!
Bid me adieu, please
Yes, leave me to grieve
Ever more
Oh to see you again
Or breathe in your scent
Death be damned!
Bid me adieu, please
Yes, leave me to grieve
Ever more

just a few more hours to get in those bit sized, emotion packed poems!
I just want to give a heads up that I may not get to posting the winner until after the weekend. I like to give each person a little feedback and take my time with all the entries. I'll do my best to get it done before, but your girl has plans! Thanks for each and every entry! I have loved them all.

Ladies, gents, and aliens:
Thank you so much for all the entries. It was incredibly hard to judge because I'm in love with every single one. I'm hoping to finish up all my feedback this week and will get that posted sometime soon.
Thanks again!
BrokenTitanium, (since you had three pieces that were posted) Ghosted is the entry that won!

Oooh wow! This is an exciting surprise!! Thank you. 😀
I was thinking I really wouldn't want to judge this... so many wonderful bite-sized morsels of farewell. Everyone rose to the challenge of "less is more". Congrats also to paperstains and slipalong. Thanks again DaisyGrace, for a really fun & motivating comp. ❤

Congrats, brokentitanium! Wasn't surprised at all to see Ghosted get the win for this one. Such a strong piece, and one that really resonated with me.
Congrats to you, as well, slipalong.
Thank you for the runner-up nod, Daisy. In such a strong field of entries, I'm honored that mine made the podium.
