He Said...

by WakingFreedom   Nov 23, 2009


"Though the sickness has never really conquered me,
it sure has taken my power."
He said.
"I live to this day with black in my heart,
stealing my breath every precious hour."
He said.
"And before I lay me down to sleep,
I want to say what you mean to me."
He said.
"You mean my love, you mean my heart,
you mean more than life to me."
He said.
"I'm sorry it has to end this way,
I don't wish to go."
He sighed.
"I love you and I will miss you,
and that's all I want you to know."
He thought...

[[Authors Note: Don't know what really came over me, I just had this simple urge to write. It made sense at first and now I am second guessing it. I hope you enjoyed. WakingFreedom]]

    I enjoyed this write of yours very much! I have a suggestion: Start every stanza with "He said:", separate your stanzas and end your work with,
    "I Thought..........." as I did here.
    Just an old man's ideas.

    I liked the piece it was very sad and powerful. I think no matter what we'll all die happy if we're in love. Good imagery and flow and the ending closed the poem well. 5/5 nice work

    I liked this. The use of dialouge made it really interesting. The flow was good and I could telly uo really put your all into this. Very sad and emotional piece but a clever write. I enjoyed this. Nik
