Click hereI'm letting go of life and limb
This blade has pierced me to my core
I lay here in the darkness
The smells of rotting civilization and sweat assail my senses
And I wonder what it all was for
Today I was walking, not understanding that this was the end
I didn't tell my mother how much I loved her
I didn't tell my father he was my hero
And now I lay here regretting these mistakes
The light begins to fall out of my eyes in silent tears
As my breath comes shorter
My fingertips are numb
And the fiery pain of the wound is getting dull
I thought my life would flash before my eyes
But all I saw were regrets
Playing out in my head like some silent horror film
And now my soul begins to fade, here in this dark alley
I wonder who will find me

darkerdreamerabout 17 years ago"I didn't tell my mother how much I loved her". I think this poem could have benefitted from less wordiness, maybe less gothiness. I still liked it.
wildsweetoneabout 17 years agoI have mentioned this poem in the New Poem Review thread in the Poetry Forum.
