Just As I Die

by Ashli   Jun 23, 2005


This pain is too much for me to bear
I lost the one i loved, i lost the one who cared
It's eating me from the inside out
all I can do is cry and live in doubt

Your face is in my mind all the time
Teasing me, punishing me like I'd commited a crime
I try to breathe, only to find I can't
My hand moves to my throat, the pain is too much to stand

My head starts to ache, the poison kicks in
I know I shouldn't do it, I know that it's a sin
But I can't deal with the pain any longer
I'm not getting any better, I'm not growing any stronger

The pain in my chest seems to get worse
I know that I'm tainted, I know that I'm cursed
My love for you has never faltered or broken
But I'm not the one you care for, for your heart, she has spoken

My throat clears and I am able to scream
You rush into the room, this must be a dream
You hold me close and start to cry
You tell me you still love me, just as I die....

    Hey, I 'd liek to say this is such an amazing poem. It has so much feeling and depth. You expressed yourself so well in this poem and nothin seemed forced in anyway. I really liked th lines:

    "The pain in my chest seems to get worse
    I know that I'm tainted, I know that I'm cursed
    My love for you has never faltered or broken
    But I'm not the one you care for, for your heart, she has spoken"

    Just the way you worded this stanza, wonderful. Your vocabulary and flow were very well done and I hope that you never stop writing. Your a talented writer. Keep up the awesome work!! 5/5
