Never Say Goodbye

Guilt.
It isn't beautiful,
Acid in your system,
Forever painful.

I meant no wrong.
I'm sorry,
I really am.

Venom of silence,
A silent scream,
In an empty box;
Echoing in nothingness.

Must it end like this?
Not a single word uttered;
None.

Can you not see?
The agony I'm in.
Set me free,
Forgive me.

Shivering in the brightness;
I love you.
I really do.

Was it just me?
Do you not love me?
A passing emotion,
Desperate illusions.

White pills,
With a whole new meaning.
Medicine;
It's for healing (not hurting)

Taunting death;
A deadly dance.
Your time will end,
Make no haste.

Please,
Don't hate me.
Have mercy I beg you,
Never say goodbye.

Cry. Call. Whisper.
Say my name.
I...
Will come.

    Looking Closer...as you MUST...but CANNOT as it stands...because of the form...

    Somehow, I still find the one word/one line format a little tedious. Why can't it flow more...be more musical, graceful, lilting?:

    The wrong. The sorrow.
    Must it end like this,
    No single word uttered;
    A hell; a venom of silence?
    An empty box of solitude
    A silent scream

    Now...I see a beautiful poem! FORM! FORM! But...the poem, is yours! (Less pretentious!)
