Die In Your Heart

Do you want to know why I’m still alive
Why after all this torment I would survive
Painful memories is all that time has left for me
So I am just discarded amongst the debris

I have nothing left its even hard to breathe
Bleeding regret like a tainted disease
I’m starved of truth and starved of hope
So I need you to cut the final rope

There isn’t the possibility of me to survive
Once the world looks away I wont be alive
So let go of my hand and let me die in your heart
Don’t speak and don’t try to make reason
I can’t come to terms of you deceit and treason
So let go of my hand and let me die in your heart

Standing on the brink of death you must decide
Will you try to repair me now you’ve lied
Blinded I try to cry but in the end I just ask why
I let you push me until I will die

Feeling lost and losing my grip
Of this world you must not let me slip
Into myself that has become so dead
Since all my strength and soul was bled

There isn’t the possibility of me to survive
Once the world looks away I wont be alive
So let go of my hand and let me die in your heart
Don’t speak and don’t try to make reason
I can’t come to terms of you deceit and treason
So let go of my hand and let me die in your heart

It only takes a second to forget me
After all of this how hard can it be
I ran from your pain and I wont return
So just let my memory burn

There isn’t the possibility of me to survive
Once the world looks away I wont be alive
So let go of my hand and let me die in your heart
Don’t speak and don’t try to make reason
I can’t come to terms of you deceit and treason
So let go of my hand and let me die in your heart

    these are my favorite parts. I love the vivid imagery that oozes from them. It give me an insight as to what happened to the poor angel.

    Good write and best of luck.

    The rhyming is good and not too forced, I have to say. Most people can't pull it off, and you did, so kudos in that regard! I do wish you could have used more of a variety in your end rhymes, but I can't fault you for that, since I can't rhyme to save my life.

    The poem itself, though, is long, and I found myself getting bored. The poem kind of repeats itself in all its angsty glory, which counts against it (along with the cliched topic). The length, I think, hinders the poem... and it kind of feels like you've run out of things to say.

    I do like it, though. I'm being honest. There's something about this that I really like... I just don't know what!

    Peace,
    Cristina
