Save Me

A broken poem.

I'm broken, alone

I'm looking, for a reason

To stay here

To stay alive

In this moment, I'm dying

Slowly inside

A lost man

With no hope

Looking for someone

To save me

Save me, I'm losing hope

Save me, I'm broken

Save men, I'm all alone

I'm trying to focus

So broken and lonely

I'm hoping for someone

To come and help me

So depressed, alone

I'm looking, for you

To stay here

With me

For eternity

In this moment, I'm cutting

I can't feel the pain

A lost boy

With no soul

Looking for that

Place that makes me feel at home

Save me, I'm cold and I'm lonely

Save me, I'm sad and I'm losing

Save me, I'm dying and fading

From the world, we know

I'm trying to focus

So broken and lonely

I'm hoping for someone

To come and help me

Oh, baby, I'm sorry

I do love you

To stay here

With me

Would bring you nothing but pain

In this moment, I'm leaving

I can't stay alive

A lost soul

With no home

Looking for the final release

The death of a man, a bachelor

Don't save me, just let me die

Don't save me, just let me fly

Don't save me, it is my time

To leave this world

I'm trying to focus

So broken and lonely

I'm hoping for someone

To come and hold me

Don't help me

Just let me die

Just let me die

I'm trying to focus

Just let me die.

Author's Note

Not the best, but certainly not the worst.

I've read so many similar poems on this site, and each conveys a darkness that millions understand. I believe you've done the same with your poem. Each line gnaws at the reader until nothing is left but the most helpless, horrific pain. Still, the art, the creation of the poem itself, is an expression of hope. It shows others they're not alone, and that pain can lead to masterful art like poetry. Keep writing. I look forward to reading more of your work.
