Autopsy

8-21-10

As our last embrace,
Seems to go on forever
I feel no disgrace,
Beaming from your eyes that are severed
The fact that I ended this,
A sad one indeed
Perhaps if you didn't think our love was a literal hit or miss,
You'd be around still to read
These words that I type for your memory,
A thought that passes into mind
Something anyone or anything could see,
A love that began of the forewarned kind
Yet the saw went straight through your heart at autopsy,
Amazing how time passes
Now I think of you in certain ways that I can remember thee,
There is a memorial from the masses
If you wouldn't of done it, I just might,
The way you used to hit me
I had no choice but to fight,
You ended up dead and I ended up free.

you've no idea how close this hits to home for me~ I don't revisit there very often~ but because I have an insiders view I can see the powerful energy of this gripping poem~and that last line~ I'll tel you this~ when 'he' died
all my friends said
"He died so you could LIVE and raise the child"
he almost killed me with those hard hands on many a occassion . . . .

A amazing story in this poem. You combine autopsy, emotion and anger in the same poem. The complete poem held my attention. A very strong ending to a outstanding poem. Thank you.

the last lines in this poem sum up what the rest of this poem is about and it makes it a very powerful poem with the last two lines.

Perfectly written and incredibally easy to realte to. Great write!

This is dark and very grim but story in the poem is very well told. Sometimes someone dying as a positive impact on another life. At least if we believe that we can live with the death.
