Death to me or you?

Sad Poetry

A piece of me died today;

For I grew to believe, I’ve lost you.

I contemplate what I should have said;

When I watched your eyes flow blue.

I lied in bed;

And wondered why I am this way.

My heart and brain are in battle;

As I do not know if I can stay.

I hurt myself with each thought;

Harsher than a long deep cut.

And try to say good-bye;

Even though it was a punch to the gut.

It was never my intentions;

To say good-bye so soon.

But I fear I am no good for you;

As I will only lead you to ruin.

This double edge blade, I have made;

Won’t let me win either way.

If I go, I am in pain;

If I stay, you may never be okay.
