Description Is this what it feels like
To love too much?
To have your soul crushed
Beneath the weight of the world?
To cry to yourself
Alone
Cold
And with no one to hear?
To bleed your spirit out to beloveds
And choke on the blood?
Is this what it feels like
To die?

I fall into the darkness
And close my eyes.
Is this what it feels like
To die?

Wow. I absolutely love this piece. You contrast the beauty and innocence of love with it's pain so very well.
"To bleed your spirit out to beloveds
And choke on the blood?"
There's a tragic feel of being betrayed here that truly touches
me. It's a terrible feeling: to pour out your soul only to have it denied and thrown back in your face. I'm still impressed with the inner strength that seems to be here, however. Keep writing, you're very talented.

I remember in seventh grade when I did forensics for the first time ever, and at St. John Vianney's.. in my first round, you were in my room and I got to hear you read the poetry you wrote.
I even remember it was snowing really hard!!
And I thought it was really pretty even then, and I still do..
