Blue Misery

by Second to None   Apr 8, 2010


It was so unexpected last night
It was your very final fight
I can't get it out of my brain
Nothing I did could make you refrain

I came in late from seeing my friend
Why did this have to be the end?
Now that you have left this place
I can only think of your strangled blue face

I saw your body swaying in the breeze,
From the window,it made my heart freeze
A pool of scarlet lay beneath you
I wondered what I could possibly do

Your silent figure screamed out defeat
Deliriously, I searched for a nonexistent heat beat
It all seemed like a cruel and torturing dream
With no return, you went to the darkest extreme

Now that I've seen your dead body hanging from the fan
In a way I envy you, knowing you are a freeman
You've broken away from this horrid world
But now that your gone, my life has unfurled

If I'm not here tomorrow, I'm sorry
If I'm not here the next day, be glad I lasted so long

    Wow, great imagery. I hope this isn't a true story that would be so sad. It has a great flow up until the last line, it just seemed a little disjointed to me for some reason, but it's still a great poem.

    One thing in this line 'Deliriously, I searched for a nonexistent heat beat' did you mean heart instead of heat?

    I am now going to go read more of your work.

    I really enjoyed the imagery you used in this poem. My favorite line was "In a way I envy you, knowing you are a freeman". I felt like you could have perhaps expanded on why the subject killed themself, but I think you did a good job in expressing how you felt towards it. Some of the rhyming seemed a little forced "world, unfurled" but overall it was a very nice poem.
