Now that i am free

by mandieD   Aug 10, 2005


From the day we are born we begin to die.
close your eyes and silently cry.
wish for all those angels now.
to wrap you up in a golden cloud.
take you away to let you see.
what you really mean to me.
when you're not there i miss you so.
I'm trying and trying not to let go.
my grip is faltering slowly now.
you want me to tighten it tell me how.
i would hold you close forever more.
be your nursemaid, mother, friend and wh**e.
be all these things and more i would.
if you'd tell me you loved me, or that you could.
but you sit there silent, stony faced.
as you show me i could never fit in this place.
i could never make u happy, sad or scared.
you never loved me, you never cared.
so i sit here now and silently cry.
as you walk away, say goodbye.
i wish for all those angels now.
to wrap me up in a golden cloud.
to take me away and let you see.
how much better life was with me.
you'll miss me darling, i know its true.
but i never meant that much to you.
so go your way and smile for me.
I'll smile on too, now that i am free.

    Hey, that's very touching. I liked the bitter-sweet feeling it gave off. And the brave sadness in it sounded very good.

    Good Writing!

    This is beautifully written. I wouldn't change a thing. It's well structured with powerful emotion.
