I Did My Best

by LostLikeTearsInRain   Mar 18, 2007


I lay on my floor
Staring up at my ceiling
Words can't describe
What I am feeling

Is it just me
Or is my ceiling turning black?
I wonder what you would say
If I told you I wanted you back

The ceiling begins to spin
My heart begins to twist
I claw at the air
And tighten my fist

Turning my sadness
Into pure madness
I punch my wall
And it doesn't hurt at all

Blood trickles down
My still clenched fist
Much like our love
I cease to exist

I try to stand
And regain my balance
I think to my self
Loving you is one of my few talents

I store this thought
In my already overflowing box
Of things that need to be forgotten
Like your laugh and our long talks

Just as quickly as I stand up
I fall right back down
How is it that
Your name remains my favorite noun?

Now I lay
Face down on the floor
With no will to turn myself over
Suicidal thoughts I can not ignore

Just leave me be
Let me rest
I may have failed
But I did my best

    Very nice. I like your rhyming flow. Not forced. And you also had many different words that I can't rhyme. Yet, I do expect a comment on one of my poems ;) Have a nice night!

    I can relate to this. I read your profile and it brought tears to my eyes. I am going through it to. I am in love with someone that doesn't love me. It hurts more than anything. and I ask myself everyday how can God just give me something so special and just take it away as if it was never yours. Love is confusing and love is very painful. I can't find anything good about love anymore. Ahh I'm sorry I'm just rambling on and on about this. Good poem...

    Love, this poem was amazing. but you shouldn't fret over lost love. where there is a will there is a way. i know you don't want to hear that but babe it's true. i lost a love that meant so much to me. i thought it was the end of the world. it took months; but when i finally realized that i had to live life and open my heart back up; things got better. so smile, love, things WILL get better if you let it. 5/5
