Death of a Poet

I somehow managed to predict,
My own downfall;
It was a bit obvious,
But surprising after all.

The death of us
Became the death of me;
Now I'm a dead man walking,
Trying to be as happy as I can be.

The death of me,
The poet I once knew;
We all thought it was a long time coming,
But ended up dying so soon.

Remember those romantic words?
Remember when I thought about you?
Now I have my mind on someone else,
Someone else that neither of us knew.

I call her my little suicide,
She calls me her rebel;
I've opposed her will for so long,
But she doesnt care how I meddle.

I miss her,
I know she misses me;
As dead as I feel,
Soon us both will be free.

You, free from the loneliness;
Me, free from this prison;
Even though I'll end up six feet under,
Together we will be risen.

But enough about us,
Because today is a sad day;
The death of a poet occurred,
But... I'll be ok.
