Poetry from The Heart

Love Brought Me Here

Every step I take is harder than the one before

I want to fight back from this anger this despair at the lies that surround me

Take the gun in your hand put it to my head and take away my last breath

I never thought it would be this way that I would die

The lies of those who tell me they have loved me my entire life consume me

The suffocating nature of how they hold me back and hold me down makes me scream

Let me go let me be free

Place that cold metal against my temple I won't fight you I swear

If I was to die I would want it to be at your hands so here I am waiting

I have hours now to fight for vengeance if you will let me

In your eyes I see that pity I never asked for but cannot deny needing

I blame the fool that lived within me for believing I could escape

Behind these cold eyes there is a warmth a sweetness that I keep hidden

As the tears fall down I feel the colour fade from my skin as it takes on it's deathlike pallor

Lay me down in the dirt and let me rest here before you take away my life

I wish to leave this torment behind for I never asked for this life that I was given

I don't have the strength to carry on

The smile I wore is broken and cracked beyond repair

Even your love for me cannot keep me going so let me be free

The kiss you place on my dry lips is one of farewell I see it in your face

The bitter sweet acceptance of letting me go

The whisper from your tear soaked mouth of I love you

Then the warm hand over my face to close my eyes

My last sensation on this Earth is of love for you and an acceptance of letting myself go

Then silence.... freedom as my blood runs amongst the dust and stones around me

I loved you in life and will love you death I promise you,
