These excusions
to nowhere do nothing
for me, I'm filling this
hole with another
hole, I'm tired
of all the effort
it takes to
hold on
to save
this frail, thin body
from drowning
its lips and cheeks
etched in blue
I sit and watch
as you disentangle yourself
from the whole operation
turning off life support
and pulling out
I.V.s, running
away in the neon
flicker of hospial
beds, but still you claim
things are the same
And when you complain
that i am the one
letting go,
giving up
I lie and say
I'll stay
But what i mean is:
give me a reason
not to leave

A very deep intense poem, and so very true. I hope to see more of your poems, I have a feeling they'll be really good.

Wow. This is a really deep thought out poem. It's definately one of the best I've heard. It really relates to me in a way. Thanks for sharing it.
