The hardest thing to do

Is the easiest to say

But hardest to mean

Saying goodbye

An easy word to say

Meaning goodbye

A hard thing to do

I don't want

To say it

But I

Have to

I stand for

A Higher cause

And you try

To bring me down

It's like

You're a lead weight

Weighing me down

In the sea of the world

I understand

You can't comprehende

Why I stand

For the cause

But I have to

Let you go

I need to

Be free

I care for you dearly

You're the one person

I love

But letting

You go

Is best

For the both of us

If you really

Feel the way

I do,

If you really

Do love me

You'll let me go

There's someone

Out there

For you

She's there

I'm not the one

I know that

That's why

I have to go

Saying goodbye

Is the best thing

I've ever done

For you

There's someone

For you

But the someone for me

Is the person I have to let go

It's all for you

It's not for me

If I had my choice

I'd stay

But you need this

So I'll leave

You stay here

I'll leave

Live your life

In the best way

I'll stand aside

And watch

I'm doing this

For you

It's all love

But just say it

Say it

It'll make it easier

Easier to let go

If you say you hate me

Even though It's a lie

Just say it

Just say it

It's three words

It's not that hard

I'd say it for you if I could

But I'm not the one

Who needs to hear it

Not you

So say it

Please

Just do it.

I realize

You won't say it

You're too chivalrous

You said I'm a lady

Be chivalrous

And say it

It'll make it

Easier

A clean break

A quick goodbye

It's the hardest

Thing I'll ever do

But right now

I'm saying goodbye

ouch. this is sad. :(
i still liked it though. lots of emotion pouring through at the end which made it a lot stronger, though watch it. you got a bit repetitive. there were some lines that i thought could have been taken out b/c you already said it once, no need to say it again. i'm mainly thinking of "its not for me" type of lines. yes some lines are important to give repetition b/c it adds on to the impact of the poem, but other lines dont need the repetition and it gets the same impact across. like the one i quoted, i think at least twice u said something similar. anywho. just some critique for you! ^^
this was still a great poem. though sad, a great read :)

Yeah, I got a little repetitive and I usually hate that, but when I went to edit the poem, I just couldn't do it.
Thanks for reading

hi! kaori.

1. KAORI: Although the name Kaori creates an interest in the deeper aspects of life, it causes an emotional intensity that is hard to control. Your first name of Kaori has given you inspirational, idealistic, and dramatic qualities. You have a clever, deep mind and the talent to excel in highly inspirational lines of endeavour as a dramatist, musician, writer, or artist. You can be lifted by beauty in all forms and are at the most creative when inspired. Your expressive, affectionate nature responds quickly through your feelings, but you must guard against being possessive and jealous.


2. KAORI SAKAMOTO: There are 13 letters in your name. Those 13 letters total to 50. There are 7 vowels and 6 consonants in your name.

What your first name means:Japanese Male Add a man's strength.

Your number is: 5
The characteristics of #5 are: Expansiveness, visionary, adventure, the constructive use of freedom.

The expression or destiny for #5: The number 5 Expression endows with the wonderful characteristic of multi-talents and versatility. You can do so many things well. The tone of the number 5 is constructive freedom, and in your drive to attain this freedom, you will likely be the master of adaptability and change. You are good at presenting ideas and knowing how to approach people to get what you want. Naturally, this gives you an edge in any sort of selling game and spells easy success when it comes to working with people in most jobs. Your popularity may lead you toward some form of entertainment or amusement. Whatever you do, you are clever, analytical, and a very quick thinker.

If there is too much of the 5 energy in your makeup, you may express some the negative attitudes of the number. Your restless and impatient attitude may keep you from staying with any project for too long. Sometimes you can be rather erratic and scatter yourself and your energies. You have a hard time keeping regular office hours and maintaining any sort of a routine. You tend to react strongly if you sense that your freedom of speech or action is being impaired or restricted in any way. As clever as you are, you may have a tendency to make the same mistakes over and over again because much of your response is glib reaction rather that thoughtful application. You are in a continuous state of flux brought by constantly changing interests.

Your Soul Urge number is: 3
A Soul Urge number of 3 means: With the Soul Urge number 3 your desire in life is personal expression, and generally enjoying life to its fullest. You want to participate in an active social life and enjoy a large circle of friends. You want to be in the limelight, expressing your artistic or intellectual talents. Word skills may be your thing; speaking, writing, acting, singing. In a positive sense, the 3 energy is friendly, outgoing and always very social.

You have a decidedly upbeat attitude that is rarely discouraged; a good mental and emotional balance.

The 3 Soul Urge gives intuitive insight, thus, very high creative and inspirational tendencies. The truly outstanding trait shown by the 3 Soul Urge is that of self-expression, regardless of the field of endeavor.

On the negative side, you may at times become too easygoing and too optimistic, tending to scatter forces and accomplish very little. Often, the excessive 3 energy produces non-stop talkers. Everyone has faults, but the 3 soul urge doesn't appreciate having these pointed out.

Your Inner Dream number is: 2
An Inner Dream number of 2 means: You dream of close and meaningful relationships, cooperation with those around you; family and friends. You want to be a peacemaker and mediator. You present an image that you are a very pliable and easygoing person who would be very easy to get along with.
