I've Lost the Battle

By Riverette

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I pick up the knife Wanting to die Cutting the strings So I can fly Fly to a place Where it won't hurt Fly to a place Where I won't feel like dirt "A life without love is a life not at all" I will never see love So tonight I shall fall Alone I will wait For my courage to come As I think my last thoughts My memory I draw from I look deep inside And reach for the good But all I see is darkness Cracks in the wood In such deep depression I try to stay strong But with so little hope left I can't wait very long To give up or to fight Which one will I choose? To give up or to fight Either way it seems I loose Written June 1st, 2000 © on Jan 05 2002 03:55 PM PST    0 • 1
