Change of Voice

A Poem by lrigD

Moulin Rouge-esque poem about desperate love.

I cannot survive without you
I know it will be hard
Without your beauty and love
We will just fall apart

But are you not able to see
That it just can’t be?

Two become one
And one becomes two
We will live
But me without you

Love conquers all
But it won’t conquer this
We need no one else
And that’s how it is

I need you in my life
We have no other choice
I want to be with you
I want to hear your voice

Why can we not continue?
Why can we not hold on?
Why are you so afraid of wanting?
Do you really think it’s wrong?

We will overcome the pain
It’s better to have none at all
After that, we will both gain
We have to build a wall

So this is my goodbye to you
This is the end of everything
I will continue my life, as will you
Who knows what future will bring?
