Alexis Y. Poet Free verse

I'M About To Flat Line- I Died a Litte Inside Contest

Melancholy days is all I see,
sadness has consumed me.
The light is has disappeared,
I dwell in nothing but grief.
living has become a routine.
Today I roam without direction,
I have no purpose I just exist.
when you left me my heart broke.
I died a little bit, it hurts to go on,
I see you walking away everyday.
I miss my dance partner very much,
as we tangoed between the sheets;
every day and night, I crave you.
When you left, I died a little inside.
I'm about to flat line, please save me.
Your kiss can cure my broken heart.
without you I die a little each second.
and I'm just a shell of my former self.

Carolyn Devonshire February 11, 2019 at 12:33 PM Emotions can seem to flat line when a loving relationship ends, Alexis. The longing comes through so well in your poem! Congratulations on your well-earned win. Hugs, Carolyn

M. L. Kiser February 9, 2019 at 1:08 PM This is incredibly well penned; I hung on every word; feeling the sorrow and pain. It should do well in the contest; best of luck.

Caren Krutsinger February 9, 2019 at 11:10 AM Alexis, this sounds like something you have truly gone through, and it sounds awful! The sad feelings ooze into the reader, waking up other sad feelings. Nicely done, for this is a convincing poem indeed for Silent One's contest.
