I've entered my endless sleep
I hope your happy, you've made me weep

Don't keep  crying
I feel like dying

One last kiss before I go
Before you kick me out into the snow

Forgiveness or not
I've loaded this shot

My heart is as heavy as lead
I have emptied this bullet into my head

My life is ending
I was to depending

With my life's ending ever so close
It was you that I chose

My words are fading
I cannot keep waiting

I am not lying here for show
Grim is here,time to go.....

wow keagan- you made me cry . . . somebody once told me something like it- it leaves an ever lasting impression- when someone tells you that you're the only reason they are still living. . .

Sorry folks,  genuinity isn't a word, but it should be.... Keagan , this was exremely good. I only really have one point ( & it is not criticism) for me this would scan better and 'sit' on the page better if it were in the style of a quatrain. I have C & P it below, see what you think. Just a suggestion as I say & doe's not detract from the overall punch of the work.... Well done

I think you need to consider the 1st stanza carefully. The way I read this is that,
"I've entered my endless sleep", suggests the character has died and if already dead how can one weep? Am I being too literal? Perhaps...

The whole poem is dramatic, loaded with a serious demeanor and soul searching meaning but I think that is somewhat to it's disadvantage, this is all SLAM there's no hills to go around or over and because there isn't I unfortunately smiled. I actually smiled during a time of acute drama and heartbreak, which was made humorous by the mention of "Grim is here".

I see this as a poem being made to depict a heavy event, the situation is brutal but the reason leaves one somewhat lost. I think for one to understand the character needs to be brought out into the open a little more, the situation explained more, there has to be a REASON for suicide and though you have explained some, the situation is still heavily veiled.

Although, perhaps your intent is that suicide is never a clear situation and so you depict it as such through your poem? Yet, whatever your reason please remember I am critiquing the poem not you, the author.

I did like this part of the poem in particular,

"My heart is as heavy as lead
I have emptied this bullet into my head

My life is ending
I was to depending",

well done, especially the last two lines, I can relate at times.

LOL.. I do believe I over thought this poem somewhat. I am sorry. Best of luck to you, I hope to see more of your poems in the near future.

Stargal

P.S. I think I would edit that line (the one with grim) but I have a warped sense of humor so others might not see it the same way.
