its your hand or mine

this is my choice,
my hands,
my life,
my knife.
this is my pain,
my release,
my breath,
my dea*h.
these are my thoughts,
my scars,
my tears,
my fears.

these are the simplistic ideas that continuously run
inside of my mind when years become so desperate.
i hold onto small hopes while falling into deepest dreamt sorrow,
this makes my life so hard, so long, and i've become so desperate.
forget the nights when we raised our hands together,
your arm in mine, summer fades so desperately.
smile parade in time, in mind, not during whitened winter,
they tug at the lips, at the corners of our mouths so desperately.
contrast your thoughts against prayers of mine,
so where fo we run from here so desperate?
imagine where we'll be, imagine the things we'll say,
it'll never happen here because for the last time, i've become so emotionally desperate

now im alone, but not lonely like before

Another one I love from you! Beautiful poem, I especially love the end.
Thank you for sharing and this is going in my library.

We were meant to live for so much more have we lost ourselves?
Maybe redemption has stories to tell maybe forgiveness is right where you fell.

You shouldn't kiss me like this unless you mean it like that, cuz I'll just close my eyes and I won't know where I'm at

this is a really really good poem... this is really very similar to my life...... in and out of depression and as some would say 'insane thoughts'.....

this is me.... like it or not....

THis was a really good poem.  I think it was really awesome how you listed out your thoughts, it gives the poem sort of a life of its' own.   Can't wait to read more.

personally i didn't like this one that much(not to say it wasn't creative) but the start was different and i liked it but then as i read on into the seconded part my interest in the poem dwindled greatly. i hope this helps you but i don't think anything should be revised but just used as a learning experience. keep writing

when you live you begin to die
when you die memories of you life lives in others
when memories of you begin to fade
you truly begin to die

I liked most of this, but some parts in the last paragraph/stanza kinda confused me, but other than that, good job.

I soak up all the pain, and accept it in silence~DMX
