Sleeping With Death

(This poem is about dealing with depression and feeling alone. Enjoy.)


Is she the one for me God can she truly be

The love she has sometimes consumes me

She makes all of my wrongs feels so right

We exist in the dark when sometime I desire the light

My flash burns for the love of her sin

Her word blocks out the words of the man how dead for men

She comforts me in my deepest darkest nights with a bottle and a 45

She calls me a cheater every day I wake up alive

I never question her wisdom because her word makes things feel right

In this battle between me and her she is winning this fight

Every lonely night I try to find ways not to say good bye

In her words sometime everybody has to die

With nothing to leave behind my name will be forgotten in time

Living in a world where I’m invisible I feel silent as a mime

My days our always night, it seems the sun will never shine

When I’m gone life will go on, without me the world will be fine

Another night next to the nightstand were my destiny lay

With two broken wings I’m afraid this angel will never fly

When the time is time, in my darkest night and when the bottle is dry

With my eyes to the sky with tears in my eyes is when this soul will die

A very well written poem, I am not quite sure tho, if there is a wife or a bottle that takes the place of a wife? Smile, Sincerely, Moses

I like the first line. One should really consider this before marriage. Keep writing. Sara
