Final Breath

by JCazares21   Jun 29, 2006


I sit helplessly on the floor, as blood is dripping down my sides,
The only thing I see, is the horror filling in your eyes,
The pain becomes more intense, and I know this is the end of my life,
I'm dying form a bullet, and a wound of a knife,
I finally look at you for I know I only have minutes to spare,
I tell you that I was right, I was the one who really cared,
For if he loved you more than I did then he wouldn't leave and just run,
But instead of him it was me who saved you from the bullets of that gun,
This tears me inside that this would be the only way you could see,
I knew I was your guardian, we really were meant to be,
But now together we could never be, for my life is closing to an end,
It's just too bad you only saw me a a really close friend,
I start to remember the times I spent with you, and all the fun that we had,
But no matter how hard I tried, you never looked in my heart and this got me mad,
I take my hand and wipe away the tears running down your face,
But I lose precious breath doing this and my heart begins to race,
I then begin telling you how I went crazy for you the first time I saw you,
But then someone stole you from me and my dream was no longer true,
I then tell you how I hate this kid and how I gave him all the blame,
But if someone crushed your hopes and dreams, trust me you would feel the same,
Knowing that my time is ticking away you begin to feel guilty and cry,
But then I tell you that without you I would've ended the same way and die,
You tell me to hold on, for the ambulance is on the way,
But I reply with the heart cannot be repaired, this is what caused my death today,
I fall on my back and you take my hand and squeeze it tight,
I then tell you that you let me go too fast and that I continued to fight,
I start to shiver and i take my last breath,
I knew I was not lying when I told you I would love you till death,
I lose strength in my grip and I start to grow cold and blue,
And with my last breath I use it to tell you that......I......love....you.

    I think you could cut back on some wording to make it more emphasizing and some lines are repetative but otherwise it's a good poem, I don't really like the rhyme but then again I never do like the rhyme so it's not a judgment against the poem

    good job

    Straight up amazing... very very sad, but so well written. I haven't seen many poems written with so much emotion, keep up the good work. 5/5

    You really can't comment. I am still dazed.
