Hopeless Dying Fire

This poem is about my life and the two people who always seem to find a way to confuse me, and screw me up, because I'm in love with them.

Drinking cyanide from a wine glass.

I'm just a sad song with everything to say.

And no one to listen.

Razor blade dreams haunt me.

Sleeping and waking alike.

The boy with dark eyes.

The girl with pale hair.

Screams to the end of the world.

You and I are never going home.

Bullet to the heart.

Knife to wrists or throat.

We will all die poetically.

I'm bleeding everywhere I go.

They left me on the floor.

Tears turn black in the sky.

I can't have you.

I need her.

Such a waste.

We shrivel and fade into the ceiling.

The stars ignore me.

Speak only to them.

Those who lead to my forsaken appearance.

I'm falling faster than the rain.

Into my funeral day.

You'll be there with roses at my feet.

She won't even know I'm gone.

Will I watch from above or below?

Trapped behind bars of ignorance.

I will forever stay.

Will you reach for me?

It's a question possible to ask.

She won't bother.

This I know.

Sweet sleep of eternity held in His hands.

Sometimes I wish it too soon.

I cry.

She smiles.

You don't need to share my pain.

Clear as shining water.

Realization can break through.

If I let it.

To compose the notes of affliction.

This I know how.

Helping you is not wanted.

Knowing her is ever needed.

Heart is dying for both.

Love is waning.

Happiness torn from my hands.

Will it ever be regained?

She's killing me.

Her grace is too much to bear.

It's not mine.

Dream of holding her.

Having her always.

They're only dreams.

Nothing more.

The expression on your face changes my day.

Forever and always.

It will be this way.

Beauty has no comparison to her.

Pure love and agony have none to you.

These thoughts run through my weakened mind.

Whisper to me.

What I never needed to know.

Flowers in their hands.

Longing in my eyes.

A second of bliss.

Return to reality.

Is victory mine?

Or those my heart enclose?

The fire is dying in everything I see.

[Sincerely, Alex]

Yeah, so basically.....that was one of the best things I have ever read.
I don't even know how to review this.

There was so much passion, emotion, and a clear voice that was irresistable.
I felt like I was watching a movie.

This is probably one of the best things you have written. I am so proud of you.
Tell me more about Haley.

Love you.

It's perfect. Extremely well written, so much emotion, clear passion. Great work! I love the flow and the way it just pulled me in. Excellent!

[PaperHearts]

That. Was. EPIC. XD
You wrote this so well, and with so much passion and intensity. I loved the flow of this, and also the natural progression of the emotions. I could definitely feel the pain behind this piece, and could relate to it in many ways. There were so many beautifully expressed lines, that it's hard for me to choose my favourite, but I really liked the part:
I'm falling faster than the rain.
Into my funeral day.
You'll be there with roses at my feet.

I always love reading your work, and you never fail to disappoint! :D
