Killing Me Softly

I wrote this when I broke up with my ex-boyfriend.

I have always wondered who was killing me softly.

I realized that it was someone I never wanted to meet.

The person I never wanted to meet would have been the person that could help me with my problems.

But I did find that person.

Now that person is killing me softly and I can't break down anymore.

My problems still haven't gone away and that is killing me really badly.

No wonder I never wanted anything to happen.

My whole life is in the hands of the person that can help me.

But it's killing me softly.

Author's Note

I love it, but the poem is sad.

I like this. How you depend on one person, but that one person is killing you softly :)

[Christina May Shanaberg]

Hon, nothing can kill you softly, including "love."

You just have to choose to "survive."

However, I really liked the emotion displayed within your poem, but may have broken it at more regular spacing. Such as:

The person I never wanted to meet
Would have been the person
That could help me with my problems.

I really like your work and intend to read more of it. Your are action-packed with emotion and naked realistic emotion; devine!!

beautiful from-the-heart poetry
loved it:)))

wow this WAS really sad. I could really feel the emotion in this. The grammar was good and I personally think the flow could be better. A lot of the words didnt really flow together. Try making Killing me softy flow with other words in the poem, or reverse it. Other than that well done

I definitely can relate to this. Written from the heart, expressing your emotions, just beautiful.

Something a lot of people can relate to, including myself. The person you can tell anything to is the person who has your heart, and the power to break it. They can help you and understand you, but in the end they still have the power to hurt you both emotionally...and even physically. I really enjoyed reading this.
Thanks. :]

It's okay to express sadness as long as it's from the heart.
i know that this poem of yours was written from the heart. Almost anyone can relate to this. :)
