Bittersweet
Something inside me gave in today,
Gave out, gave up.
Forgot to breathe,
And suffocated.
A hand rests on my stomach,
-As I lie on my back-
The pillow underneath my head
Washing it with tears.
Each fingertip lingers on skin,
Trying to breathe life into death,
In vain.
My heart and his are not
The only things that bleed.
Funny how,
When you have
All the unconditional love to give,
You end up with
No one to give it to.
I wrote life a poem
It will never hear,
And today,
The paper burned.

"Something inside me gave in today,

I like the way that sounds when I say it out loud.
"I wrote life a poem
It will never hear,
And today,
The paper burned."
And that's just beautiful. Sad, but beautiful.
Wonderful poem.

This is so sad. YOU'RE making ME scared, now. Anyways, it is a great poem, the last stanza made me want to cry. Very good.Comment by Telemachus: Oct 19, 2009 12:18 am
Is that a leprechaun I see on your windowsill? You know the best bit about the bottom - everything after that feels better.Comment by monkeyboy2416: Oct 19, 2009 4:10 am
For what they are worth, you have my thoughts.
The poem says what it needs to without being too pointed. And is, as pretty said, sad but beautiful.

The opener sets the tone quite well.
This poem has such feeling. It is worded wonderfully.
And is terribly sad.
