My Own Coffin

I just feel sucky today. Thought if I was going to feel bad, might as well put it in writing.

You didn't mean it, I know
It was an accident, You know
I curl up in bed, Plagued by you
Cry myself to slumber, I dream of you

On the hill top, There you are
In the green grass, So very far
I climb the slope, Making my way
Let the sun shine, Show me the way

I reach your open arms, Wrap around me tightly
You feel like heaven, Forever with me lovingly
The clouds shadow the light, A hole swallows you up
She's down there grinning, You drink from the poison cup

I step back into reality, Drenched in tears
Shaking under the covers, From the night terrors
I look myself in the mirror, As I do often
And think to myself, I'm making my own coffin

A hole where you are is in my heart
Keeping you safe until you climb out and meet me
Digging in deeper for how long you stay in
Reach out and take my hand,

For there's nothing for you there

Critique as much as you want. I will embrace it with open arms.

That was very deep and moving. I appreciate the raw emotion you enduced with this writing. You take simple everyday emotions and turn them into these beautifully crafted works of art. At one point I confused myself but I got it :) Nothing you did you are a very talented writing. Thank you for such excellent writing

loved it, I pay more attention to meanings of writing rather than how it was written. It really caught my eye so thank you for the read. I hope your feeling better as well

Yup you really must have felt bad when you wrote this piece. I wish I could express what I feel that good and get it out with that flare you have going on... Such a sad thing to be happy in dreams then reality over shadows the joy and turns it to pain.. Nice poem you wrote...Do hope that you're feeling better for having gotten it out and on paper :)

This explains how I felt when my ex broke up with me. I can really connect to this poem. I like how you rhymed, too! Very nice poem :)
