Too Late??

by AmberSherrellxxIve Been Sitting Here Trying To Find Myselfxx   Dec 16, 2007


Beeping machines
Punctured veins
Proding needles
Heart in pain

She knows the truth
She's going to die
But the doctors smile
And continue to lie

Cancer is worse
Her lungs are black
She's given up
Faith she lacks

Skin is pale
Eyes are dull
She sits and cries
A worthless hull

Given up
Misery deep
Eyes closed
Tears seep

Beeps get faster
Heart beat dies
From this life
She finally flies

She stands in line
At heavens gate
Hopefully salvation
Didn't come too late...

    Nicely narrated ... and the story was a very well chosen one.. but differently told :)

    This was a sad emotional piece. I found the flow to be almost chant like and eerie it created a nice effect over the atmosphere. Your word choice is simple, I like it and find it effective though I think that you could write really well by adding in stronger and more powerful vocab because you already have the flow and emotion down. Overall a good poem which I enjoyed. Well done. ~Mel
