Love, Life, and Death

 

What is love?
Is it life?

 

That's how this felt.
You gave me life. 

 

You were the first thing I saw.
But you were the reason I became blind. 

 

Is this how it always feels?
I felt that famous wonder and now I feel as if I've been killed. 

 

What have you done to me?
What haven't you done to me? 

 

Please, anything but this agony.
I fear I'll die.   

 

I'm not afraid of dying.
But I'd gladly die to end this pain.

 

It's this pain.
I fear I'm completely losing it; going completely insane.   

 

This isn't a normal pain.
No normal pain could ever hurt me in this way. 

 

This undying, unyielding, desensitizing pain is drowning me.
But I'm dehydrated and freezing to death too.    

 

Insanity has come, I really must say.
Oh, I wish I could tell you what I want to say.   

 

 Oh please, won't you just end this?
Please, oh please, come and end this today.

My second poem. I'm writing this under the influence, just by the way. I hope this makes sense.

Really like your poetry. Sometimes our muses really speak to us when under the influence. You seem to write everything with a certain style that I'm becoming fond of. It's usually starts of with a question and ends up with a passionate feeling.

Agonizing and raw. This was very well put. We seek answers for the pain we've been dealt, and sometimes we'd just rather end that pain than to find a solution. Thanks for sharing this.

This is amazing. It takes skill to write under the influence, even more so than when you are not under it. Good job.
