My armageddon has arrived, my sun has fallen from the sky,
I stand around as everyone around me goes about their business,
Not realizing, that the world that I have ever known, is shattered.
I want their ignorance so much, as I melt into this ice of heartache.
I'm fighting my hands so much to not reach for that blade,
My arms aching for me to just give in, to just be selfish.
There is no one beside me, I breathe the cold with a cigarette in hand,
Beer just inches before me, these are my friends during my darken days.
Two people that have been my universe are now gone.....
And I can't rise above this world that I'm in right now.
My heart is like glass, and its as shattered as a windshield in a car accident,
Totalled. Everywhere. In pieces. Unfixable.
I see a tulip wilt and die before me... that flower knew, that creature felt.
It breathed the same air as I did, yet connected to my emotions and dying soul.
Perhaps what I thought was water on the pond, was earth's way of grieving for me.
But nothing and no one will EVER know my pain, for it is and has been....
My Armageddon.
Author notes
You know, I thought the hardest day of my life would be burying my father, my best friend and even my mom.... but I have found a whole new day that brings immense sadness more than even those days. Living to see my mom's birthday without her and at the same time, seeing the love of your life move out as part of a mutual separation. This is probably the hardest thing I have ever had to endure. I know God is with me, but sometimes, I just want to throw my fists up in the air and scream to God "WHY! WHY ME?!?!?!"

AMAZING!
WOW! I have to say this is a brilliant work! I see places in this piece that need a little revision or change for more imagery and emotion combined not separate. However, this poem still ranks quite high for me. Your best lines are the first three of the last stanza "I see a tulip wilt and die before me... that flower knew, that creature felt. It breathed the same air as I did, yet connected to my emotions and dying soul. Perhaps what I thought was water on the pond, was earth's way of grieving for me." Even though there are some things that could be better for example your ending, this is still an AMAZING piece! I really really like it! Great job.

I'm sorry everything happened so fast. I would have stayed if you had asked. You haven't lost me we've just changed. If you wan't to talk, I'm here. I told you before and I meant it, I won't abandon you. I know it seems I already have, but you only need to call when you need me. It still hurts me to see you in pain. Don't give up on being happy and happiness will return. I promise.
Don't ever give up.
I still love you.

the only person i have ever lost in my life was my grandmother, but i can only imagine the pain youre going through... remember that you do have people out in the world to lean on. and that you will never be completely alone...
life is full of challenges and pains, but something i have learned is that all of the struggles just make you that much stronger for what the future holds.

I can relate to this as I've lost my father, mother, and had a failed marriage in the past several years.

Some of our greatest poets came to us from the depths of sorrow on words reaching out to hold on. Well written since sincere and honest pure emotion that some who are gifted like you are able to translate into powerful words.

You could find out that the reason your fiance is losing the donor kidney he got as a gift of LIFE from his uncle is because he chose not to go to the hospital for check ups for four months and now there's no kidney to fix and he needs dialysis again.
January blows.
