Your doing it again. You said you had quit. I believed you. Why are you doing this to me? I believed you when you said you would stop. I believed you the first, second, and the thrid time. I kept giving you another chance, that was my mistake. Your messing up your life and mine. You dont even see it do you? Your all I can think about lately, about how your killing yourself, about how i might lose you. I feel trapped in a nightmare. I want to wake up but the nightmare never ends. Its reality, but I dont want to face the truth. I dont want to watch your life fall apart into nothing. I dont want to see you dissapear. I was suppose to be able to look up to you. How can I do that when I know what your doing is wrong? If you were to die tomorrow I would be mad and upset. You would care then. If you could see how much your hurting me you would quit. You would finaly see what I have been trying to tell you all along. Even when no one else does, I will still love you.

This was about my mother and the whole point was to keep you guessing...Alot of people dont know why I feel the way I do when it comes to certain things. Like with my mother I wrote this so some people could put two and two together. I like to hold my feelings in and writting helps me get them out.

This reminds me of my ex-boyfriend. He was extremely suicidal and I used to cut myself. We would fight and he would tell me I didn't love him. I would cry and cry. Clearly, I loved him and I didn't want him to die. For 8 months after he began threatening me with killing himself, I stayed with him, always feeling like it was my responsibility. After all, I'm the one who made him so sad, right? If only I could prove to him I loved him as much as I did, he wouldn't want to die, right? Well, I was wrong. He ended up moving on and so did I. He and I both had a lot of problems and I learned we were unhealthy for each other; we were breaking each other down piece by piece. This piece spoke to me, whether or not your situation has anything to do with mine, it spoke to me. That's what I love about unspecific poetry.

This is a great poem. It really shows the emotion and feelings you have toward the subject. It would have been better if you would have told us what he/she was doing that is making you so upset, it also would have been better if you told who the person was who is hurting you, your mom or dad, a sibling, a boyfriend or girlfriend, or a grandpartent, relative, or other friend. Overall though, this was a great poem and had no errors.

Some say the world will end in fire;
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

"One bright day in the middle of the night
Two dead boys* got up to fight [*or men]
Back to back they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other

One was blind and the other couldn't see
So they chose a dummy for a referee.
A blind man went to see fair play
A dumb man went to shout "hooray!"
[or: And two lame men came to carry them away]

A paralysed donkey passing by
Kicked the blind man in the eye
Knocked him through a nine inch wall
Into a dry ditch and drowned them all

A deaf policeman heard the noise
And came to arrest the two dead boys
If you don't believe this story’s true,
Ask the blind man he saw it too! "-i have no idea who actually wrote this poem but it was quoted on the movie "Haunting In Conneticut."

I know what it feels like to feel that way, i also know what it feels like to be told that. My best friend's boyfriend basically told me two days ago that, she feels like this.
