My End, Without You

by Hurtingsoul   Jun 5, 2012


Listen to me
Every word I say
Is yours to keep
Yours to pray

Let me speak
Hear me
I sound so bleak
It's what you do to me

You make all the walls
Fall down
Every wall
Touches ground

Are you listening?
I'm losing it
I'm drowning
I'm unfit

This is me crying
Me slipping
Me trying
To keep griping
Keep holding
Keep hoping
Keep keeping

Life's so delicate
Can you see?
Frailty
I'm so weak

I need you
To save me
I love you
But I need you
To fix me

Save me
Help me
I'm falling
Abysses swallow me

Stark and dark
My world
I'm lost
Foreshadowed, foretold

Without you
My end has come

    Love your style of writing, it's very simple but has a big impact. You seem to take those simple words and convey your emotions with a few words. I like the honesty and how your heart is confessing in this piece too, you still love this person but you're asking them to fix them. My only suggestion is to create more original images, I'm not saying include all these descriptive words or metaphors, there were just a few lines that I felt weren't as strong, like the walls falling down, I feel like that's such a common portrayal, why was it unique to you? But the part I did think was effect was the ending of a stanza where you said "I'm unfit". Emotional and expressive.

    Keep your hopes high up :]

    Wow. When I read this, it sounds like you are taking breaths and for each of those breaths you can only say a little at a time. That's what I imagine anyway :)

    I really like this poem. It reminds me of someone dying, which you intended (the title).

    "Are you listening?
    I'm losing it
    I'm drowning
    I'm unfit"

    ^I think this part shows the greatest emotion. When I read this, I think of a person who has revolved her whole life around a single human being. And you love this human-it shows immensely. You don't want to be abandoned because you are afraid that you will not be able to love again? I don't know (I have a tendency to read into people's poems). Sorry

    Beautiful poem. You expressed wariness and fear of being abandoned well. Excellent
    5/5
