3 AM [Time To Say Goodbye]

by Stephanie   Oct 31, 2007


"Goodbyes make you think. </3
They make you realize what you've
had, what you've lost, & what
you've taken for granted."

```````````````````````````````

It's 3 AM in the morning and here I am:
With an open bottle of whiskey and an old pen.
A melancholy whisper fills the thick air,
And I find myself running into yesterday's sin.

I'm being held captive by my own demons,
Because my insolent heart won't let you loose.
A single, crystal tear crashes into my palm,
And I curse myself inside; There's no excuse.

I've been burning inside, screaming in agony,
Because I keep imagining your sweet face.
Time is running around in constant circles,
And there's too many mistakes for me to erase.

It's 3 AM and the bottle's running on empty,
And I feel so pathetic and so damn weak.
These insecurities are slipping through my skin,
And I can't trust my shattered voice to speak.

I use to feed myself lies; I use to dream,
And I use to embrace the thunder of your sighs.
But you've got me pondering.. wondering -
Maybe it's time for us to finally say goodbye.

    I really liked the idea of this poem, and I know how that feels. It's been hard for me to say goodbye to someone, and it doesn't matter what they put me through, i want to be with them. Excellent work. :]

    I loved the emotion in this peice. Wow, your words paint an amzing picture in my mind. Your vocabulary chioce deepens it all and makes it into a really great peace. I think that the last stanza really sums it all up. Great job!

    This poem is basically brilliant. Your vocabulary usage were very well thought out and used. You catch my attention from the first stanza and holds it till the very end. You've used a few poetic devices in the piece which really make the poem even better. The poem wasn't too short nor too long which is good because it doesn't intimidate the reader. The emotion is quite strong and I could feel it. It's something many people can relate to. Very deep piece. Touches the reader. Amazing. I think you're the clear winner for the club contest. Well done and congrats. Keep writing.
