Parting Words
My stranger, can you feel my fears?
I don't know you.
Oh, your fears mirror mine,
Captured in a single tear since you've been gone.
But you don’t know me.
My partner, can you hear my whisper?
The sound of desire, in silence.
Your whispers endlessly echo in my ear,
Stoking the fire of unspoken desire,
Which overwhelms my body.
My brother, can you understand my pain?
I didn't want to hurt you.
My sister, your pain is also mine.
Know it, face it, and wrestle with it.
You didn't hurt me; I hurt myself.
Young fella, you know that.
I'm sorry.
Adorable Peregrine, I know it all.
Don't be sorry, my cherished bird.
You were a wellspring of delight for me
A corner of my heart is forever your refuge.
Neither ever, nor never,
Goodbye
By Young Fella & Adorable Peregrine

Hello! Thanks for favoriting my poem. I appreciate it.
Thank you for the comment. However, the title was not chosen randomly; it is intended to align with the story. While I appreciate your suggestion, I believe the current title fits the narrative well, by contrast to your which may seem a bit generic or insipid.
Well expressed in different forms and perspectives through anthropomorphism and metaphor it speaks well to an ending relationship. Nicely done.
Thanks a lot for your comment. I appreciate the review. Stunning.
