One Breath


I’d gladly give
my life for yours
So I would never, know the dark

The anguish
of your loss would kill
my spirit, leaving me no spark

I’d rather pass
through hell’s worst fire
then breath of life as you depart

For when you left
you’d take with you
My essence, and my hopeless heart

Don’t ask me to
endure alone
eternal torture of my soul

I’d rather stand
beside the devil
and feed perdition, endless coal

Don’t let me weep rivers
of blood drenched tears
as I’m sacrificed upon the cross

Pray, let me die
one breath before you
So I will never, know your loss

    all is well

    This is a very good poem; well written with feelings of love, longing, devotion, and belief. It is well constructed; it has clarity; good concept; good content (grammar and such); flows well; wonderful phrasing; and it rhymes…
