If not for you

By brokenworthlessness

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

If not for you I would be dead. I hate you for that. I hate you. How could you deprive me of peace. Peace, finally, in death. If I wouldn't hurt you if I died I would be gone. Away from this pain. But it would, and I couldn't take doing that to you. I live on this cliff on the edge of death; with my heart cut open and my soul on fire. Dying inside. Because you wouldn't let me close my crying eyes to the world. My crimson blood falls slowly and these crystal tears shatter in my soul. My soul shatters with them. If not for you I would be dead. If not for you I would have peace. Written December 21st, 2001 © on Dec 21 2001 12:02 PM PST   18 • 0 • 10
