Leave This World, a Breathless Sigh

Today you’ll die

And tonight I’ll cry

With the wind, a breathless sigh.

I wish to lie

With you, with my

Guy, who seems so shy,

But Death is sly.

And he loves seeing us saying goodbye.

 

So I say goodbye.

I wish it to be a lie.

Here, I cry

To see you die.

And let Death be sly

For he could never be shy.

He ends life with just a simple sigh.

But you were my"

 

You were my

Only love, true enough to make others sigh.

But Death, being sly,

Forced me to say goodbye.

Now I see you, but it’s a lie.

I welcome you, but you seem shy.

I also cry

Because I’m the one that made you die.

My honest opinion? My goodness!! I have just written to you not 4 minutes ago about a memory of mine and how it changed... this poem of yours is exactly the mindset I was in that night. I really like you, Taylor, and how easily you are to understand and take beautiful notice of in poem!! Your form in this poem is really quite nice, also. Reads like 3 deep breaths.... I held mine in that first stanza for some reason, but I don't really need reasons when it comes to you. I just enjoy you and return again to do it again. : ) Your "dark" poems I am finding to be sweet and missed... : ) xoxo -Mark
