Leaving

I know you want to leave

Leave on your own terms

Terms I'm not always happy with

With a grace and peaceful goodbye

Goodbye to all the aches and pain

Pain that is deep within

Within your heart there is a longing

Longing to see him waiting

Waiting patiently he'll be

Be there to guide you through

Through it all we wish you well

Well now is the time

Time to say goodbye.

Thx Martin. I don't know about what form of poetry it is. It just flowed that way. I've looked it up but no idea still.

Is this a recognised poetic form, starting each line with the last word of the former?

It's very clever. It almost sounds like two voices as with Ali's bear poem and yet reads as one just as well
