Answer:

I left suddenly and without any notification,

As the swallows leave in the fall, - SIMILE -

And you stayed completely alone,

My dear, lonely friend.

Now, I'm an empty boat,

Floating on the sea of ​​turbulent human life, - METAPHOR -

Without any friend,

Because I left you behind me,

My dear, lonely friend.

Sadness and sorrow are sinking my soul, - ALLITERATION -

While the sea full of memories is talking to me, - PERSONIFICATION -

How hard is to live without the smile,

Without your company and your hug,

My dear, lonely friend.

The world revolves around my head, - HYPERBOLE -

Because I lost my best friend,

A huge, black raven sits on the branch, - SYMBOL -

He told me he saw you in the heaven for lonely ones,

My dear, lonely friend.

Explanation:

Simile represents a poetic device we use to make a direct comparison based on the similarity between two things, by using words such <em>as </em>and <em>like</em>.

e.g. I left suddenly and without any notification, / <u>as the swallows leave in the fall</u> /

Alliteration refers to the occurrence of the same letter, where the words in one line start begin with the same consonant sound.

e.g. Sadness and sorrow are sinking my soul...

The metaphor represents a figure of speech we use to describe some person or a thing in an abstract way, by making an implicit comparison between two things, based on their characteristics.

e.g. Now, I'm an empty boat, / floating on the sea of ​​turbulent human life  /

Hyperbole is a poetic device and refers to exaggerated statements which are not taken literally.

e.g. The world revolves around my head...

The symbol is a poetic device that consists of a word that refers to an abstract term and gives a wider meaning and deeper meaning of the sentence.

e.g. A huge, black raven sits on the branch /

A raven symbolizes sadness and misfortune.

Personification refers to the attribution of human characteristics to some non-human thing, by representing an abstract quality of human form.

e.g. / ... while the sea full of memories is talking to me /
