Kill Me Now

Kill me now

Before my heart can forget to remember you
Before my whole essence is swallowed
Before my eyes burn with the image
Of your back as you leave

While my heart is exposed to your blade
While I have the resolve to stand
and let you
While my face can still hold an ounce
Of dignity before you

Please, drown me in my apathy
Please, release me of my torment
Please, do away with the weakness
That losing you will bring

aweee... i know the feeling... so many times that title has escaped my mouth... I like the style and structure of the poem... it does seem ragged like the beating of a heart... this is heartbreak in a nutshell...good job... I wouldn t change anything... very expository...

A wonderful visceral poem that cuts to the core. Thanks for the pain.

How many times must one repeat the same comment. At the top of my browser is but one more chance-"Clouds"-for you to fail me, but this one is not it. If you look at my comments to most writers, you would understand that I'm not just humoring you. You are a great writer and a beautiful person, and the newest on my reader list. Thank you for providing me with such fantastic reads tonight.

Steph,, this seems effortless.. Such is your style.. But the words seem to trip over one another like the ragged beating of a broken heart.. And I'm sure the effortlessness is a well crafted illusion..
Love the rhythm and the overall atmoshphere..
