Echoes of Goodbye

Craft a ballad about a parting that was filled with regret.

Ballads traditionally tell a story, often times filled with emotion and heartfelt detail. Focus on a farewell that left a profound mark on your life – maybe a regret, a missed chance, or a faulty decision. Consider what the goodbye meant then versus how it resonates with you now. Share your personal narrative through this ballad, using the strictures of the form to unpack the complexity of feelings related to regret.
