Fear of Being Alone

by Jessie   Oct 15, 2008


So here I am, alone for now.
Dealing with I don't know how
Thinking of I don't know what
All I want to do is cut.

I can't eat, I cannot breath
I am only dust it seems.
As the world goes flying by
I am stuck in just one time.

Maybe tomorrow I will rise
But for tonight I will just cry
My friends are gone, and so are you
I guess I don't know what to do.

For thirty months we were together
Claiming it would be forever.
Thirty more I may still live
or maybe I will just give in.

Until then I'll count my tears
each one contains a different fear.
They are reminders of my pain
lost in the cold October rain.

    Oh, I really liked this piece! Simply, but powerful, it truly oozed raw emotion. I really like the part about your tears each holding a different fear, that is a great mind picture/meaning. (: It stuck with me. The fluidity was good too; a short but solid rhythm. Two suggestions: this line --

    "I can't eat, I cannot breath"
    I wouldn't use a contraction, and
    then 'cannot' in the same sentence,
    it threw me off, use one or the other.

    "I can't eat, I cannot breath"
    'breath' should be 'breathe'

    Good job! Keep it up, looking forward
    to reading more.
