Evanescence

What use is there of my vigilance ...

The end comes even to the brightest star

Drowning in self indulgence

How far is far…

Floating in the oblivion’s lagoon

Not really wanting to know the answer.

Humming along with this blue afternoon

This ghostly shadow dancer…

Your heart is melting slowly -

The sweetest lie

Killing me softly

But there are worse ways to die.

Gorgeous use of metaphor and precise diction choices. I really felt the emotions behind the poem. Beautifully written with real feeling.

I enjoyed the poem.
"Your heart is melting slowly -

You are welcome! (killing me softly; now I'm singing the song; beautiful, like your writing)

[Ana B.]

I love that song ..... :) Also the former band ''Evanescence'' a remarakble voice....

[Confuser]

Wow, no one like Amy Lee (My Immortal); started writing a poem about one of the videos. No one like her! Wait, I see you write former; ??

[Ana B.]

Indeed....touching song. Well, as far as i know, the band ''Evanescence'' stopped being a band a while a go. Now, the solist Amy Lee is going on a solo path....

[armin]

' push the button' her first solo song released Aug last year. Evanescene a great Band I love their song 'Bring Me To Life' major international hit. And yes the band broke up.

The title and the context of your poetry is about fading away:)
