She said goodbye feeling unsure,
He’s a good man; his heart is pure.
But she’s not ready,
To move on steady.
His eyes she’ll never forget,
This decision she might regret.
But she’s afraid; she’s been in pain,
Her heart is cured but she’ll refrain.
His arms so manly and too sublime,
To let him go will be a crime.
But she’s accustomed to being alone,
She thought she liked being on her own.
She’s a strong woman but after all,
There’s nothing that will break her fall.
To let him go; a choice unwise,
Perhaps this hurt is now my price.

Beautiful peom and rhym is also cool. We must not lose the good people in our life, is the basic theme I this poem. While the theme of loneliness may be founded in all of your works.

Your eyes, my dear, through poetry, give luminescence, sight, & sound!
Strength you have, aplenty, courage, grace, & love...
Sharing of your feelings dear, enlightened from above!
Pain you have, & pain you'll know, unfortunately so...
That is my sweet, a truthful blow, that winter brings it's snow!

Indeed a popular indecisive choice, whether to let go or hold on to something or someone. And we’re always left battling with the thought of ‘what ifs’ and ‘what nots’ in life; really liked the message behind this poem. I liked how you put them into words and how each sentences rhyme. Good work! :)
