A Kiss Goodbye
The last time that I kissed you needing tissue quickly followed
Face so cold, devoid of soul, from your body being hollowed
It took years for me to swallow that you're no longer here
I bawled like a child for quite a while, dropping innumerable tears
My greatest fear came to fruition causing bouts of depression
A nonslip vice grip placed my heart under compression
Until poetic expression became my weapon of choice
Finding a way to convey with my newfound voice
Face so cold, devoid of soul, from your body being hollowed
It took years for me to swallow that you're no longer here
I bawled like a child for quite a while, dropping innumerable tears
My greatest fear came to fruition causing bouts of depression
A nonslip vice grip placed my heart under compression
Until poetic expression became my weapon of choice
Finding a way to convey with my newfound voice

I'm glad that you found an outlet for your expression. Very expressive, and flowed very well. I really like those last four lines... Loving the multi-syllable rhymes. I'm not sure who this is about, but it's touching...
P.s. that's a pretty cool picture you chose to go with this one too ;)

Thank you NB. This poem is about the passing of my grandmother who died in 2014. The loss of her is what started me on this poetic journey. I'd never written poetry prior to losing her. Now it's become my coping mechanism for all things life throws my way. I love the photo too. I was searching to find something that would go well with the poem and chose this one immediately after seeing it. Glad it resonated with you too.

Damon...line 7 ? I think you meant to say you cried (bawled)...rather than (balled), which is slang for the sex act... at least in the USA.
