Life is so crude and yet
we try to live it in bliss
This emotional pain,
I shall not miss

For my story begins on
my hopes and my fears
And as I tell you,
I'm sure I'll drown in my tears

On the boundary line
of death and life
I inhale these confusions
and deal with this strife

Along the way,
bits of hope appear
As quickly as I can,
I grab them, releasing a fear

It was the fear of giving up;
of hearing my conscience say
"you're a failure, leave and let
your faith slip away"

I couldn't let that happen
So I held with all my might
I thought if I believed in myself
everything must go right

Then that feeling came
when fantasy started slipping
Realitly was moving in;
and parts of it were dripping

I was such a fool
for believing your drawn out lies
but still everytime I see you,
a part of me dies

Why would I have thought
that you were still waiting?
Because when I turned you down,
it was me you were hating

Now it's my turn to move on
Rip your heart out and run away
Because after I leave, I'm not coming back
and you're gonna want me back some day..

    Really enjoyed reading this poem, speaks alot of truth about losing a loved one. You should never go back where you've been coz it will never be the same and you portrayed this well. I like the line "I thought if I believed in myself
    everything must go right" this is so true. If you believe in yourself then so will others. Well written, great job. 5/5. Em

    The flow was particularly my favorite thing about this poem. Second was the topic. You showed how losing a loved one can wreck you in so many different ways and effect different things. Loved it. But the emotion wasnt as clear as it could have been. 4/5

  • I absolutely love the flow of this poem. I can relate to most things you have mentioned and wrote about in this poem.

    Particularly love this stanza:

    It was the fear of giving up;
    of hearing my conscience say
    "you're a failure, leave and let
    your faith slip away"

    Just triggers something to me. Really nice write 5/5
