Closing my eyes
desperate to find the one true thing
I'm still breathing for.
I look at him
and when I do it all comes rushing back to me
Images appear
and memories flash before my thoughts
every inch of my body caves
and I can no longer feel
He left my world with the grace of a thousand swans
never can I see his beautiful face again
he has met the angels
he has grown his wings and
flown away from a hell he knew to well
I see him now and again but only in my dreams
and only in every mirror I peer into
I see him in me
I see what i've become and
I know he would be
dissapointed at my shameless figure
He would ask why
my only answer would be
"I had no one to tell me when I had gone to far"
lifting my chin with his gentle hand
a tear to shed once more
for his death wasn't the sorow
it was his absence in my life.

I love this poem..
-
a good piece of poetry, sadness is woven in between the lines - i had gone to far - to should be too there
-
omg
this is outstanding ...
i actually felt something when i read this
its so raw and revealing exactly what i wanted to see
"i had no one to tell me when i had gone too far"
that line blew me away as if this is the only person in the world youd care about what they had to say and would believe
absolutely brilliant ty so much for this
