The Last Night of Nothing

Bitter words seep through my veins,
Loose vanity slows my breathing to a pulse…
A pulse that leaves me gasping again.
This crutch won’t last forever
Like a leaf's deth...
So beautiful just before the greatest fall of all.
I’m resting my hand on your stomach again
Hoping to feel the battles that rage within,
I can hear the screams of emotion even now in the silent hour.
Just hold my hand and squeeze when the end is near.
I’ll cradle your head on my shoulder, letting you drop
Into sleep again.
So what’s another night of dreaming?

This one left me almost speechless...


"A pulse that leaves me gasping again.

My favorite thing in the world, to use in any type of art, are trees. I think they are so beautiful, and i loved they way you wrote that part...it sort of made the poem for me.
I dunno, that might sound totally stupid, but it really did.

This was brilliant. Im adding.

I ask why, but in my mind,
I find i cant really rely on myself.
