Broken

I lay here broken,
From the words that were spoken.

As I start to cry,
All I want is to die.

Reminders of the failure I really am,
Prove once again my life is meaningless sham.

I'll never be who you want me to be,
So you need to let me go so you can finally be free.

I know everything I've done is wrong,
You were right when you said I'm not strong.

My tears flow like torrential rain,
I long for release from all this pain.

I'm sorry for all I put you through,
Hurting you was never what I wanted to do.

My invisible wounds have started to bleed,
The realization sets in that I'll never be what you need.

I failed you so many times in your life,
All I did was cause heartache and strife.

I wanted you to know how much I love you,
But how to show you I had no clue.

You deserve so much better than I have to give,
Maybe once I'm gone you can finally live.

The things you said were like a knife to my heart,
They confirmed that I failed you right from the start.

I now know I'll never get it right,
Has the time come for me to slip forever into the night.

How badly I just want to it all to end,
Life is my enemy and death is my friend.

Profound heart breaking write, but please tell me the following isn't true.

"How badly I just want to it all to end,
Life is my enemy and death is my friend."

It is and it isn't. I do feel that way often but I'd never hurt myself. My poetry is like therapy for me, it's how I get those thoughts out if my head.

Therapy for me as well. I think life is everyone's enemy and death or should I say Rest In Peace is everyones friend. Life is definitely hard and can throw some seriously painful curve balls that misses the catcher's mitt and can hit us directly where it hurts as we fall down in pain and struggle to get back up. When we rest we are definitely free from all the emotional struggles and wait until our judgement and life into a better place (from what we know) ... When we find what were looking for it sort of puts our doubts and thoughts to rest on those feelings. Whether it be love a best friend a song or even a purpose. I hope you find that peace of mind thru one of those as I am waiting and searching as well enduring my trials here. Your not alone in your thoughts. Keep writing . Definitely emotion in there and beautiful though sad words. Thanks for sharing.
