I Had To Do It

I revisited the old place, I had to do it Now, just an empty space But I had to do it They called me crazy, being prepared But I had to do it It all ended, all were despaired We hid here, we had to do it We had survived it I had to do it I had to survive it I had to do it We were the only two left I had to do it Resources dwindled, not much left I had to do it She was weak, I was strong I had to do it It was logical, it was not wrong I had to do it She was weak, she way dying I had to do it I sought options, god I was trying I had to do it She was beautiful, so full of life But not before I had to do it I took the knife I had to do it Even now I hear her voice, pleading I had to do it Then it was quite, but she was bleeding Bleeding to death, but I had to do it I had to leave; I felt it in my bones I had to do it All that was left, was her bones I had to do it I had to see her, no matter the pain I had to do it Taking her pain, it was my gain I had to do it We were hungry, I knew it was wrong I had to do it She was weak, I was strong I had to do it I had to be quick, to get it done I had to do it Then it was over, she was done I had to do it Why did I do it? I had to do it I had to do it I had to do it

Robert,,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
