Too Late

by Jenni Marie   Feb 21, 2007


Surrounded by darkness
Struggling for breath
Panic overtaking me
As I fight against death.

Shivering and cold
Visions in my head
Are those voices I hear real?
In a few hours will I be dead?

Falling slowly to my knees
As I clutch at my chest
Horror quickly enveloping me
Don't want this to be where I rest.

Grabbing at the ground
Heart beating faster than it should
Bruises along my arms
My face dripping with blood.

My body is failing
This is easy to tell
Wont someone help me
Come and lead me from h e l l?

Shoving the self pity away
Knowing that all this pain I've been dealt
I have only myself to blame
That's why all this pain I have felt.

If only I could go back in time
I wouldn't make the same mistake
Thought I'd be okay with the drugs
But now every part of me aches.

I guess that's a chance you take
When you stupidly mess with fate
Seems the only problem is
I learned my lesson to late.

    I love this. Very dark, great ending. Sad story. I really enjoyed reading. Well I expect honest comments from you, so I'll give you the same I expect. This is what I found.

    _ you rhyme the whole poem but this stanza.. why?_

    My body is failing
    This is easy to tell
    Wont someone help me
    Come and lead me from h e l l?

    _just a grammer mistake won't*_

    _ again grammer too*_

    Other than that.. babe this poem was amazing :) That last stanza hit me good. It's my favorite. Again, I enjoyed reading it. I might just add you to my favorites if I see more great work from you. You're rhyming made the poem better, made the flow go smoother, -all except that one of course- You did a great job on this.

    Amazing Write
