I’m gone but I’ll still be brave

I’m gone but I’ll still be brave

A Poem by Cameron Wilkinson

I’m gone but I’ll still be brave.


You sit there like nothing ever went wrong
You think the air is clear because it’s been so long

But deep inside I still hurt a bit more
You seem to want to leave me alone but what for?

So I act brave and show no emotion
When it came to love I should’ve took caution

Love at a young age isn’t for the faint hearted
But yet.. we stay strong and we haven’t departed

I think about you day and night
And when I see you we some how fight..

I never wanted our love to be this way
I just hope we can be happy and fixed one day.

My love for you still continues on
Even if your love for me has gone.

I get the feeling you want to go that’s fine
Because I get the feeling your love was never mine

I fear the day you bring someone else home
Say you love them and leave me alone

Could an open relationship make us last??
Would this be the answer to stop my heart breaking this fast

My heart breaks faster than you can read the words I wrote down
My face you see nothing but a frown

My eyes so blue and full of tears
Deep inside anguish and fears

My demons swimming in an ocean of regret
Of a time i wish I could forget

How my whole world was focused on you
But now you’ve gone.. what will I do?

I can’t cope with living anymore
So.. I just hang there a metre from the floor

From the tree where our initials are placed
Oh how all the fear and anxiety I faced

How they won and now I’m hanging there
How very little people think it’s not fair

But how the others couldn’t care less
But you know what I’m dead because my life was a mess

Oh how this poem made no sense to anyone who reads it
But it’s emotional that you have to admit

But now we are coming to an end of space to write..
Who ever reads this things are gonna be alright

You are in a constant battle that may take a while to win
Just know you’re strong and throw those blades in the bin

Go talk to someone even if it’s a friend...
It will stop you from a grim end

My life was fucked up and yours could be as well
But friends can help I wish I knew that before I went to my own hell

Just know that times will get cruel
Just know you’re worth it and you will rule

Rule your own life and and protect your soul
Stop the demons make it your personal goal.

This isn’t me saying goodbye because I’m dead
It’s me saying I’ll still be there while you rest your head

In your dreams I’ll still be there to be brave
Even if I am laying in my grave

This has been too long now I must go away
I will see you soon. See you another day.
