There are no easy ways to say good-bye
whether it is through the divorce or you die
I sat alone last night with blood shot eyes
holding your picture in my hand
as I cried these bleeding tears
remembering everything that's happened over the years...
and then, just like that, you were gone.
There were no noises spweing from your throat,
no wheezing from your lungs...
they said it was quick and painless...
blood drops onto the photograph
as I can see your corpse hanging by the chandelier
and all I've gotten out of this tragedy
is a bleeding tear.

WOW well done,, i felt like i was actually there, the imagery was great the flow was good. I think i also liked it because i could relate, all i though about was my uncle as i read this. I had no favorite line or stanza because it all was great. Very well done good job and good luck. WOW!!!!

Nice, love the vivid imagery.

Very emotional. A good way to describe the pain of a loss.

ok i'm not sure if you have heard about it or not (which I'm sure you have...) this poem made me think of Charlie and i cried my eyes out for the millionth time!!! it was beautiful...i love you crystal

wow - this is really sad. I almost know how the speaker feels, only I didn't lose anybody by way of death (or, at least, no one I was particularly close to). Really nice job.

Great write. It was very succinct, I liked it.

I liked this one a lot. It's so filled with emotions for such a short poem and it made me hold my breath on the last stanza. Amazing work
