Let Me Drown

Let Me Drown

A Poem by Shreyas Tripathy
"

A love song in the memory of the one and only love of my life...

"
There is only one place I belong
And there is only one place I can call home
And there will always be only you
'Cause you're the only one I ever knew

Never let me come too close, will you ?
Never let me see the hurt you hide
And there will be another tomorrow
That is all I need to know...

I am falling free,thanks to gravity
It held me up
Now it's pulling me down and down and down ... oh

This mindless game, of dignity and shame
These hollow lies, and the sacrifice
All come crashing down, into the underground
And break the chains, that hold you back...

Never open up, your heart to a stone
Never sell your soul, and leave a gaping hole
Don't wait for the sun to rise
And the Gods to oblige your prayers

And now I am falling free,thanks to gravity
It held me up
Now it's pulling me down and down and down ... no

I know, that it's the end
Let the darkness descend
FOr my sun has been eclipsed
Forever...

And I am falling free, nothing's holding me
You held me up
Now you let me drown and drown and drown and drown ... oh

This is quite the nice poem; although, I felt it was somewhat lulling which is both good and bad. It was like a song, slow and quiet like, which created a nice mood for it, yet at the same time it was a little hard to continue reading. At the same time, I like several of the lines and the concept of the poem, so overall, good work!

really nice, Liked this a lot:

Never open up, your heart to a stone
Never sell your soul, and leave a gaping hole

and like how you changed the hook at the end To:

And I am falling free, nothing's holding me
You held me up
Now you let me drown and drown and drown and drown ... oh

It almost could be a song. "And I am falling free,nothing's holding me
You held me up
Now you let me down and drown and down and drown...oh" this could be the chorus line. Very nicely done Shreyas.
