i sit alone
in the dark on my bed
waiting for a phonecall
to take away what was said
i hear the voices
in my thoughts
killing the memories
and the battles i've fought
for you were everything
beauty, hatred and pure grace
walk away now
leave me alone
take my life
and love for your own
the darkened sky
shines no light for me
to leave this world now
is impossible for me
the promises i made
to the ones that i care for
will keep me here
even if i dont' want to be anymore
broken again
i sit alone
my love for you
was written in stone
you couldn't accept
the person thats true
i hate myself
and you do too
walk away now
leave me alone
take my life
and love for your own
the darkened sky
shines no light for me
to leave this world now
is impossible for me
the promises i made
to the ones that i care for
will keep me here
even if i dont' want to be anymore
i can see the light fading away
my mind is gone
but i don't leave today
the winter in my heart
can never be turned
why does love for me
have to be earned
walk away now
leave me alone
take my life
and love for your own
the darkened sky
shines no light for me
to leave this world now
is impossible for me
the promises i made
to the ones that i care for
will keep me here
even if i dont' want to be anymore
take me away
i dont want to be here this long
but just you being there
and it keeps me strong
she walks away now
leaving me alone
shes taken my life
and love for her own
the darkened sky
is all that i see
if i could leave right now
i would just for me
the promises i made
to the ones that i care for
will keep me here
though i don't want to be anymore
the promises i made
i have kept true
they mean nothing to me
but they do to you
and as you say
that you love me
its not the way that i crave
but it will do for me
walk away now
leave me alone
to sit the dark
feeling disposed
the love that i had
is no longer there
but the friends i have
cannot bare
the thought of me gone
and i don't know why
but for them
is the only reason i try

I loved the formation of the poem, the repetition and the words. They just swept off the page and into you like a knife. So very powerful. The last two lines are a wow! "But for them is the only reason I try" that was just wonderful.
Keep up the great work.

I loved reading this because it was something I never usually hear written. It was about promises, right? Which kept a person from commiting suicide. The repitition of certain lines helped it to flow and the rhyme was very good as well. It was sad to read but altogether, good job!
