One Last Breath

My depression is falling faster,

It’s like it’s my master.

Pulling me away from everything.

Just leaving me saying,

What did I do, why am I paying

For this life,

I look at this knife,

and if just for one moment

I knew what it was like to feel your love again.

I’m sunk in so deep in thought,

Thoughts of me and you,

And every time I’d said I love you,

And now were threw!

What did I do?

I lost the best thing in my life,

That best thing was you!

I feel like I can’t hold on.

Now that everything is gone.

I’m just left to move on,

To what you said was something better.

I start reading all your letters and just realizing

It all must have been me,

I just can’t see what you saw in me.

You said I can be so much better.

Now that I am, its like I’m so ashamed in that thing

That thing you once loved and held tight.

And I just might lose it all,

Just fall off the edge of life.

By the time I realize the tears are falling,

Its just too late I’m left here falling

into that depression, that obsession.

baling my eyes out Just let out a shout,

a shout that wakes me up from this misery.

I open my eyes and just realize that the misery was still there.

You said you would rather die alone than to stay here with me.

Hopefully one day this will fade away.

And maybe one day you’ll see things my way.

Until then the knife still sinks in.

And maybe this will fade away,

And maybe one day you’ll see,

These thing that you once saw in me.

Amazing poem. I'm sure many people can relate to it, like I did...

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
