Like A Knife

Torn was life.

Deeply it cuts

The razor sharp blade

I can taste the blood

While the light fades

 

The chill of despair

Grips at my heart

I'm losing ground

Deep inside I drown

 

I'm showing all the symptoms

Stuck in this condition

How did I get here?

Why so many tears?

 

Just like a knife

You cut right through

Plunged hard

Leaving nothing behind

Just like a knife

You tore apart my life.

Author's Note

Inspired by the song entitled "Cry" by Rihanna. It always reflects somewhat my eternal emotions at the present.

I love this poem!
I understand excatly what you are saying here. It is well written. I think it captures the way your feeling really well. It is really clear how you are feeling. I specially like this part:
The chill of despair
Grips at my heart
I'm losing ground
Deep inside I drown

It's like a flood of emotion. Brillant.

This poem makes the reader somewhat uneasy and it should� it is brilliantly written

You can feel the intensity of the story line throughout the poem

Not my favorite subject � but well done
