Together, forever, we shall lay..

by Jessica   May 20, 2006


I know now
That I have to let you go
I have to give up
I have to just stop

These feelings
Are driving me insane
They are taking over my mind
They are taking over my brain
Shaking and shaking
Until I break down
And cry

Then when all the salty tears
Are gone
I stand up slowly
Look around
And start to scream
I scream and scream
A loud screeching shriek
Full of hate and pain
I scream this way
Until my voice is gone
And the anger is no longer present

Now all that remains
Is the depression
The heartbreak
The love..

I could not live
And see you everyday
With her..

See you holding her hand
See you stroking her hair
See you kissing her
With the lips that belonged to me..

So with one last determined look
At my tearful reflection in the mirror
I take the knife and slit my throat
The blood pours out
Just like all the pain
That had overflowed within my body..

There I lay,
Surrounded by my blood,
My pain..

You knock on the door
Calling my name
The door is open
It is not locked
You burst in,
And say
I want to be with you,
I love you,
Please forgive me..

Then you see me
You lay by my side
And scream
Noo, no, this cannot happen!
Oh, I am so sorry..
You burst out into loud relentless sobs
And then you make your final decision
You take the knife covered
With my blood
And you stick it into your heart
Forever ending your life

And as our spirits fly up above
We each take a look at our pain-free bodies
We are lying side by side
The way we should be..
Together, forever, we shall lay..

    Good write. Painted a clear sad picture for the reader. Good use of short stanzas to emphazie on emotions, but if I may suggest changing some fo the punctuations may add more impact.

    "Now all that remains
    Is the depression...
    The heartbreak...
    The love."

    "There I lay,
    Surrounded by my blood...
    My pain."

    Good write though... Keep up the good work. 5/5

    I like this poem it was sad and very detailed almost like a story, just like how my poems are. I love story line poems I find them intrestinf and what not. I thougth the flow and rythym was right on and I loved the ast little ending..perfect way to end it.. "And as our spirits fly up above
    We each take a look at our pain-free bodies
    We are lying side by side
    The way we should be..
    Together, forever, we shall lay.."
    It was so perfect. Great write I adore it. :)
