Goodbye?
Such a simple word,
I've said it a thousand times.
But as the seasons pass, and the years fade away.
I realize,
When was the last time I said it to
you?
There was a last time,
I'm sure of that.
And I say it to you now.
What I'm not sure of,
Is if you can hear me say it at all
anymore.

Your Poem's Voice
Deeply personal reflection on regret and distance, minimally abstract.
Single dominant idea—unspoken words—explored meditatively across lines.
Melancholic, tinged with loss and uncertainty about connection.
Quiet, introspective tone with hesitant pacing and pauses.
Approximately 11 lines; falls in 7-15 range.
Minimal metaphor; mostly declarative with light temporal imagery.
Pure lyric internal monologue; intimate first-person rumination.
