Gone With the Wind

Gone With the Wind

A Poem by Very Old Account

One day, when I was engulfed
In my sweet memories, ignoring
The pain that devoured my insides
I suddenly felt free of my burdens,
My worries and my woes
I felt like my mind was disintegrating
Into nothingness just like my heart
Was doing at that moment
The moments passed by like
Raindrops falling heavily down
From the heavens and like
Sand slipping, trickling from my
Fingertips and your grasp, your
Hold onto me, but I was leaving
Leaving for reasons unknown, and
I knew that that was just okay
It was meant to be, because
Fate had planned for me to
Die that way, for me to simply
Blow away with the wind
Inside my head that echoed my
Cries of despair and finally
That was all ending
I was losing myself just like I lost
My own mind within the dark
Recesses of a nothing and the
Something that held me in place
Like a prisoner bound with chains
Released me, and you released me
I was glad and thankful for death
Today, but maybe I wouldn’t be
Happy about it if it had happened
Tomorrow or last Tuesday
Good riddance of my dark present
There’s no more of the mysterious future,
But I really insisted on keeping my
Serene past because it was the only time
In my whole non-existent existence
Where I actually felt some kind of
Joy, but never again would I
Feel that way with you, because
I was dying and I was being blown away
And when I was losing consciousness,
I felt you try and hold my hand
Once more to try and bring me back
But fate rejected your request, your will
And took me away with the wind
And I didn’t care about it, nor
About you, goodbye, and just
Know that always, always
I love you when I’m
Gone with the wind

I liked this. It was sweet and sad at the same time.
Although it did seem a little long; but that's just your style, isn't it?
