Izzy's "Goodbye" is a farewell to someone who once mattered enormously and then walked away. The speaker begins by admitting they should have seen it coming, and the poem moves through a list of hurts: being rescued "from the burning flames" and then dropped once they became "boring," trying to please this person while being met with frowns, and being left by someone who supposedly meant well. The repeated "Yet" gives the lines a tired, almost bitter rhythm, as if each kindness comes with a letdown attached.
What makes the poem feel honest is that the speaker isn't simply angry. They admit this person understood them, "read me like a book," and accepted everything about them, which makes the leaving sting more. The ending shifts from intense feeling to feeling "absurd," a sort of numb disbelief that it all came to this. The mood is sad, worn out, and quietly resigned. Repeating "Goodbye to you" at the close suggests the speaker is trying to claim the ending for themselves.
