No Goodbyes

by Sara   May 15, 2006


These four walls keep me here
They keep me alone with my fear
My fear of the past and what happens tomorrow
The fear of the life I had to borrow
I cant control what I did
I cant keep hiding what I hid
My mind goes blank, its so dark
My eyes open to an empty park
The swings swinging, no ones there
I look around, they're everywhere
A million eyes staring me down
In their judgement I start to drown
I close my eyes and open again
Theres a grave where the swing had been
I slowly walk to read whats wrote
But as I blink I slit her throat
I stop right there and fall to the ground
I hear little giggles, I hear happy sounds
Everything changes without a pause
My mind snaps without a cause
I hear a scream I hear a cry
I see a little girl pass me by
I run after her without a thought
I grab her arm, it starts to rot
The sky goes from blue to grey
She lets out a sigh and melts away
She dissapears in front of my eyes
She had to die with no goodbyes

    Very good. I hope you don't mind, I only voted 4/5 (although some of your other work got 5/5 from me.. lol), because I couldn't see the continuity without any punctuation. I don't know if it was meant to be hurried, but that's how I read it without stops or commas. Maybe, to slow it down a little to the reader, you might want to think about it? Certainly no critiscisms, though, I absolutely love this poem. It's so vivid, and true. I think in our darkest hour, when something so emotional has happened to us, you can relate to it with your words. Thankyou for a fantastic write. xx
