In the fields of silence
I will walk away from you
This is my regret
My shame is I must cast aside your faith
Like those winter days I held close to you
My love still feels as cold inside
I hate being there
But I still love you
I will forever be with you
No matter what the cost
Why can't you just let me go
I don't want to be your memory
There is so much more
The times we had,
seemed that for a moment
They were all we could want
But now I wish to be forgotten
I know that I caused you anguish
Yet this is causing you more
Please understand,
all I want from you
I want you to abandon all we had
I wish to live in the dark
To accept my isolation
To be rid of love
This why I wish to die

I don't know what the contest is about but good luck! I enjoyed the emotion and the theme but I wasn't completely liking the word choice and overall flow (but I'm a rhymer. I have a hard time with free verse). Some of it seemed a bit clique but the good side is that the true meaning wasn't lost in pretensious language. I love the last line "This why I wish to Die". It says so much and really wraps it up nicely

Very intense and very powerful piece of poetry! Wow!
There have been so many times in my life that I have wished to die but I keep hanging on because I have people who love me and cherish me
Thank you for sharing the words of your heart; I wish you the best!
