I'll Watch ((As You Live))

by StandStill   Jun 7, 2008


What am i to do?
(Nothing left to do...)
When every breath that I take
takes me a little further from you?

Have a sweet dream for me
(because simply, I forget)
Since like the ocean, I shall watch
as the sun rises after it sets.

Overdose on this listlessness,
tis something "I still need to do".
I know quite sadly what's wrong with me...
But, darling, what's wrong with you?

And I could sit here for hours
try to put my pain into simple words.
But what would it fix...?
It's not what you deserve.

And I'm sorry to say, in a few days,
my heart, it shall bottom out...
But I promise you won't notice
cuz my lips will be shut against my dying shout.

    I agree with popsicles...i like the questions too. It really puts a lot of emotion and meaning into your poem and it makes you think. I really enjoyed reading it :-)
