Life Is Lost

Just close my eyes,
Blow out the light.
Everything
Will
Be
All right.
My heart aches
As my eyes close,
Assuming
I'm already letting go.
Well I'm not,
Hard as it may be
To keep you near me.
Life would be
And seem
So differently.
Fingers shake
As love begins to crack
And hearts continue to ache
And your beat just goes
Smack
Smack
Smack
Back in your chest.
I've already bled,
If not all the rest,
Of words unsaid,
Sleeping
There to never rise
A
Bove.
I'm melting,
Slowly in my dimise
Goodbye hopes
Of being a graceful dove.
Knees then fall
Past the freezing mist.
Life is lost,
Hidden within the Bliss.

If I had to describe this poem with only one word, my pick would be: Beautiful.
Luckily, I'm allowed to use more words, so I can point out that I like how the story told unfolds slowly and ends with a very nice antithesis of what seems to be a rather happy death, caused by unfortunate love that leads to it as well as bringing pleasure.
I like that it is neither portrayed positively nor negatively only, but as being both.
Good work, keep it up!
