SHE DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE,
SHE REALLY HAD TRIED.
BUT LOOKING RIGHT THROUGH ME,
SHE KNEW I HAD DIED.

This is great.
I always love the hyberbole (an obvious exaggeration) in your poems.
"She knew i had died"
I feel like that too.
Well i feel like im dying already.
Im dying inside.
It was also sweet, i think that you should give her this poem if you havent already.
I bet she would love it :)

Jim that was a gut wrenching read written from the depths of your soul,beautiful my man,i see it was written almost twenty years ago i would love to hear the conclusion of this story sometime.Very well done.

I wanted to write a comment on this 'pouring out' of yourself but cannot seem to find the right words. Even though 'she knew I had died' you must have found new life and faith because I have read some of your other poems. It is good to remember where we have come from on our journey through life. Thank you for sharing this.
