Walking The Line

by Natalie   Apr 22, 2008


So solitary, On the bathroom floor,
Wiping the tears my reflection saw,
Time's a wasting before my eyes,
Drawing the line of my own demise.

Eyes rolling back into my head,
Spinning thoughts of things he said,
And as I leave everything behind,
I just keep on walking the line.

- This is not a cutting poem. Would love any feedback.

    Wow...
    I love this. I wish it was longer because I truly liked it from the first to the last line but it is very effective like this too because you managed to say so much within just two stanzas. I like your choice of words a lot. The imagery that you portrayed in each stanza is breathtaking, very intense. You expressed emotions excellently, too, I could feel everything that you described.
    Overall, greatly written sad poem.
    5/5 from me
