Death Comes with open arms
You tried to talk to me honestly
I simply don’t believe you
You always say I’m beautiful
I say your blind
Why must you lie to me
Then argue that it’s the truth
Just look into my eyes
Cant you see the pain?
Why cant you just leave me alone?
I don’t want to hear it
I don’t want to hear the lies
Yet the continuously flow from your mouth
I run and try to hide
Yet no matter where I run
You are there with your arms open
Telling me; No begging to come to you
I refuse and shake my head no running away
Why do you have to chase me?
Why cant you just leave me be?
I never wanted you to say those lies
Never asked for this pain
But its always there
I look back and your calling me like always
Why cant you just leave me alone?
Just leave me to my own misery
Please just leave me be
I keep running from you
Then suddenly I stop
Stare over the edge, to the end
I slowly turn to look back you
And let myself fall slowly
Tears spill from my eyes
A blurred vision of you reaching for me
I pull back quickly
And close my eyes smiling
You call to me like you always do
I open my eyes to see you dive for me
You grab me and pull me close
Holding me so tight
Then you whisper in my ear
"I love you
I need you
Why did you have to do this?
You should know
I will follow you to death"
You kiss me and I cry harder
Clinging to you and I whisper
"I'm so sorry, I love you"
Death comes with open arms

so this has got to be one of my favorite poems just in general.lol.
this was beautiful.
i love the storyness to it [if i can make up my own word there.lol.]
this really touched me.. i loved the emotion.
awesome job & thanks for entering my contest -
Thank you for your lovely comment on my poem.
I think you have greater talent and I do like the way you use your words
Keep it flowing -
My favorite part was "I stop before the end
Stare over the edge
Look back at you
Then slowly fall"
It was the most enticing, I thought.
Again, I loved the story, you have a knack for telling a story in such a short amount of, hmm, space? time? I don't really know what I'm trying to say there. Oh well. Back to the poem. I liked it. I'm not too sure I fancy how short most of the lines are, but that's merely a personal style type thing.
I love the title, it goes well with the poem.
Great work on this.
