Slipping Away

That day I realized
I couldn't hold onto you forever.
You were slipping away
And I developed a thought
To put a gun to my head.

I knew you would be slipping sometime
I just never thought it would be this soon.
I can't have you leave.
Or else I would be nowhere.
Stuck, trapped
And not having a clue.

One day,
I dare to put that gun to my head.
And my last thought will be of you.
How you were and meant everything to me.
How much I loved you deep inside my heart.
No one will understand how I felt that day.
Until they read this.

Soon, they will know.
And once they know,
They will learn to understand my feeling.

It is hard losing someone important in your life. This poem flows very well and gives us insight into your pain.

I almost hoped to find a disclaimer to this poem. Very convincing content. The flow of the poem is excellent.
Keep writing.
