Graduation has come and went
emotions spent

Mistakes were made,
tears were shed,
lessons learned
(High School)

One day
tainted (melancholy)
not with the expected relief.

Parties that night lack glitter
lingering with questions, routine
"What if . . . ?"

Time to celebrate
too lost in the cliché
of goodbye
to drink to the night,
so here’s to you and all your lies.

Fairytales told
(the tale that escape your lips, leave me broken)

Pictures capture the emptiness,
looking whole only in the one with you.

(You
relieve of me this deep seated sadness
fill the gaping void in my heart.

You
know none of this
unaware of what’s beyond the surface smile.)

As I watch you sitting on the patio
lost in the drunken release of freedom,
I begin to miss what I never had.

Well, I'm having a hard time understanding what you are trying to get across.  It had good wording and at some times I could understand but the soul point of the poem I'm not getting. Like I said, I liked some of the wording, maybe putting it in a different order might help?

"If ever you think of me out of the blue, just remember it's all the kisses I've blown in the air finally catching up with you!"
