Why did the last breath hurt the most
Im still trying to think
Why im feeling dead inside
Theres only so much I can take

You pushed me untill i was at the edge
With ten inches left to go
I finally break from the inside
I just thought id let you know

You pushed me to my death
Thank you so much for your care
You left me at the bottom
While I still gasped for air

Longing for the life you broke
It burned out like matches
I wish I could start again
But all I have is ashes

Your message of this poem was hidden very deep in your words and I had to read it several times to understand it -which adds  mystery to the piece. Overall good write!

I don't see a mystery in this poem. All I see is a very emotional poem. This was a very interesting poem though. I thought it was very good.

How sad... I loved this poem though! It is now one of my favorites by you... I thought it was very good, yet, i also didn't see the mystery, i must be very dense?

I liked how, in the stanza above, you "thanked" the person for pushing you over the edge. It was an interesting twist, ironic sarcasm... I loved that!

I also liked the ending in this poem a lot, it was a nice wrap up job to make it all fit together...

Thanks for sharing, this was an amazing write

I truly felt the melancholy of your words through the first line. It contained; the death, the life, the pain that you spoke of throughout the remainder of your poem. Well done.

I know why I was the only one that saw mystery.   So... now that I have read it nevermind.
