Anticlimactic

by Melpomene   Jan 14, 2009


I awoke,
to the presence
of a ghost.
"Darling don't go."
-You incinerate me.
How can something
so beautiful
haunt my soul.
Anticlimactic.
"Darling don't leave."
I can't breathe.
-Goodbye.

Another nightmare,
Where could you be?
as we fade into
eternity, someone
in the world lies.
"Forevers not so bad"
-I promise.
You held my life
in you're palm
and yet you lost yours.
Pathetic, the way
revolving doors swing.

"Darling don't go"
Every time I wake
you expire into the
nothingness you came.
Sometimes life seems
pointless; Tiring.
"Darling don't leave"
I can't breathe.
Goodbye.

-I miss you.

    Love how you repeat this line, beautiful.

    The sadness in this piece was so alive in your flawless choice of words. What a touching and heart breaking write! I could tell this was scripted from your heart because everything sounded so honest and true. I loved the form you wrote in, it was different than what you usually see which made it that much more interesting to read. It all flowed so flawlessly and I read it a couple of more times to truly grasp its meaning.

    "You held my life
    in you're palm
    and yet you lost yours."
    ^This was written so beautifully! Such meaning behind such a simple phrase. I loved your choice of words here....crafted flawlessly. What irony in your words...I applaud you!

    I truly enjoyed this write Mel. I hope everything is okay though. :/ The sadness is felt so real to me and I hope its not something you're experiancing.

    Well done.
    *5/5* :]
