I Can't Breathe Anymore

by Anthony Duvalle   Mar 22, 2008


My flask is running dry
I'm beginning to feel the cold again
I can't go back to dieing that way
I take my pills that make me drift to dreams
Maybe I'll take two or three more this time
Who cares anyway?

I take four of my little capsules
They hold eternal peace for me tonight
And I lie down to enjoy my last minutes
Falling back to those memories for the final time
I can still see your face in that hellish moment
Tears still gratefully accompany this thought
But no one cares what I say.

Your eyes had lost their starry, shining glow
Your breath was no longer heating my body
That tight grip we had in our hands loosened
The warmth had left your beautiful body
I said I love you for the last time
And kissed your soft, perfect lips goodbye
What a painful, sadistic day

This memory will haunt me no more
Even if I do not meet you in the sky
I can escape the pictures in my head
I hope more than anything you're happy now
All I ever wanted was for you to feel immortal
I guess dreams don't come true...
Maybe it was meant to be this way.

    Very excellent write here. I love how through the whole poem you kept describing the situation without stating the meaning. You never had to directly put the meaning, and it was the most heard part of the poem. Very impressive write. 5/5

    Wow this was really horrible. I mean sad wise. I thought it was an okay write. I think it's be better with more discriptors and a little more rhythm. But otherwise nice job
    5/5
