Alive

I hear your screams tonight
It's music to my ears
You're alive

I see your tears tonight
It's a work of art to these eyes
You're alive

The fire within your heart still burns
Burns with painful flames
Creating a suffocating smoke
But you're breathing just the same

Laying broken upon your plight
When comfort was calling your name
But still you chose to fight
I'm grateful for your suffering

I feel your pain tonight
It's a blissful sensation to endure
I'm alive

I am your mind tonight
It's a marvelous thing to be
Alive

    Very beautiful.... I love all these lines.. The difference between the lines in the first few stanzas - they were very... um... How would you say - complimentary? I'm not sure, they played very well contrast with each other.

    You had some very beautiful lines in here.. I love the slowness to this one. Beautifully crafted - your words still linger.

    Wonderfully done

    I see this interesting poem as commentary by the person's mind on the relief felt that the narrator has fought and won an internal battle that could have resulted in suicide, real or methaphorical. In that sense, the pain is welcome as it signifies life and the willingness to fight on rather than capitulation to the pressures faced. Well done. camus
