forgive me

Do you remember that final fight

and how you spat blood, kept spitting blood,

like you were a viper and it was your venom?

 

There’s a serpent in you,

I know that now,

But it’s hard to forget how you fell in the end.

How your once-comforting hands reached out

with so much fear they shook,

and how they were not answered.

 

If you had given me more time

I would have fallen with you.

Maybe that’s why you slipped away,

and how, like our hearts,

The trembling in your fingers stopped.

Omg Michelle this is amazing. I never knew you were so good at writing poems.I love this especially the last 3 lines in the second stanza, how it might have been prevented. And it ended with a strong finish. I loved this and I rarely enjoy reading a poem so that's saying something. You made me proud girl and can't wait to read more of your amazing poems.
