Last Breath
Last Breath
By: LadyVelvet18
I wake up tonight, tears are glistening
As they roll down my pale cheeks
I can’t take this kind of pain anymore
It’s been far too many weeks.
But the pain comes from memories
About you and me together and alone
Enjoying life together, going out every day
Until last night when you hung up the phone.
But I can see why you did this to me
I am ugly, useless, nothing to you
My friends try to make me think otherwise
But I start to wonder if it might be true.
I walk to the mirror that stands in the corner
I look into it and I’m shocked at what I see
A pale, thin, tired girl replaces the original
What could possibly have come over me?
But I know what it is as fresh tears come back
It’s you haunting the memories of my mind
It’s you, standing there in front of me, beside me
Inside my painful mind, I shall remain confined.
I strike the mirror over and over again
The pieces shatter and fall everywhere
They strike me down, make me collapse
But you, no, you couldn’t possibly care.
But oh no, I am so horribly wrong
As you stand by my window, thinking of what to say
You hear screams erupting from my window
You come to a start and wonder if I’m okay.
No…I am not okay, far from it my friend
As I sit there, drowning in my blood and pain
But my life I will try to keep while wasting away
It will be oh so very hard to maintain.
I built my life around you like building blocks
But you brushed me away, left me to die
As I lay on my bedroom floor, my hair turned red
Staring with empty eyes towards the starry sky.
You run through the main door, praying
That I am not dead and you aren’t too late
You run through my door, tears in your eyes
As you see and tell me to stop and wait.
It’s not your time to go, you say
But I disagree as I start to see the light
I hold your hand in my trembling one
It’s okay; I promise I’ll be alright.
Summoning all my strength, gathering words
My boy let me say something else too
Choosing between loving him and breathing, I say
“I will use my last breath to say I love you”
