The meter in this poem [Types of Tears] was developed by what famous poet? Will you c.c as well?
Types of Tears
The last time that I dropped a tear
So long a time ago
A tear of sadness shows its feel
She's gone that's all I know
Ten years expire gave up on love
Content in who I am
I changed the focus of my life;
The blood of Christ the lamb
Am on to concert at our church;
Believers of the Cross
My heart is pierced by limbate eyes
Tongue tied and at a loss
Go out to eat with friends that night
Large table, chairs were full
Except for one right next to her;
Excite me for the cull
I looked into blue bordered dreamy eyes
A tear of joy; no longer in disguise

It's ballad meter, and as far as I know, it has no known inventor or developer. Quite a few poets have used it, especially for songs, which is why you can sing most of Emily Dickinson's poems or "Casey at the Bat" to the tune of "The Yellow Rose of Texas" or the Gilligan's Island theme song or "Amazing Grace."
The couplet at the end is also a widely-used closural device that isn't associated with any specific inventor. See Barbara Herrstein Smith's book "Poetic Closure."

There is no known inventor of this complex style.
You should title this.She is Gone Forever.
Your poem is very sad and you show good imagery.
The best part is about God.Our Creator.
