When the smile goes away
All this comes back
And when I’m happy
It’s all right
But when I’m low
That’s just the way It goes

Everything seems pointless
Nothing is right
I lose the point of reason
And it’s so hard to get back
This is me fallen
Too weak to go on

My words rely on my breathing
My breathing relies on my heart
My heart is broken
So it all falls apart

Suffocating without grounds
All it takes
Is a word from you
And I find myself down here
I cascade to a place beyond hate
Further down than the ground
Pressure overloaded
Smiles sedate

Deterioration of happiness
Pacified hope
That tomorrow Brings
So many better things
Screaming
Crying
Dying

My words rely on my breathing
My breathing relies on my heart
My heart is broken
So it all falls apart.

small insignificant useless me

This is a heart breaking poem that you have written very well.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Man, that is like the most unbelievably sweet poem I've ever read ... I loved it, especially the main catch quote with the whole breathing heart thing - That ruled .
Thanks .

This poem really touched me. I liked it a lot, though it was sad to me.
