REASON TO STAY ALIVE

REASON TO STAY ALIVE

A Poem by afra

When memories haunt me 
When I get disappointed by my dreams 
When scars  fill my soul 
You come and make me whole 

When my wishes are scattered on the floor 
When my hopes die after seeing all the closed door 
When my world falls apart 
You are the only one who hears the voice of my heart 

When I ball up at the corner of my room
Wishing to end my life soon 
When I decide no longer to stay alive 
Your love becomes the reason to live

Great metrica, flow and pathos, I really mean it, actually "great" is not enough, but I don't know a stronger word to use :(
A very good use of alliterations (you coMe aNd Make Me whole, for example) and anaphora (WHEN, WHEN, WHEN).
Very original, the idea of taking a chance at visual rhymes, I mean.
Great job =D

This is definitely your style: to write short and powerful poems.

This one is another powerful, emotional and beautiful poem.

I love the the last two lines of the third stanza:

'When I decide no longer to stay alive
your love becomes the reason to live.'

WONDERFUL!!!

KEEP WRITING STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART AND SOUL

Very moving stuff. I can relate. When the s**t hits the fan it good to know who to turn to. Perhaps it was written about a dear friend, but in my case it reminded me of the deep unabiding love and support I have discovered within myself. A powerful reminder to reach out to our better natures, wherever they may lie.
