Dying

If you put your hand to my heart
You feel how fast it beats
Like it´s trying to knock
Every hit it was meant for to beat
But now there´s not a lifetime for that
There´s only this moment

I feel
It doesn´t live much longer
It will stop
I know, I´ll survive
But I´m like a heartless candle
Deserted lighthouse
Titanic in the bottom of the sea
Sad and forgotten

Dying used to be called "Alive??" but now it feels wrong. so Dying.

  1. I think this one could have a lot of spot on titles. It could be Heartless Candle or Lighthouse or Forgotten or any of the lines from here or maybe something entirely else. But Dying to me seems very good a choice of title. Keep it :)

    Last stanza totally got to me. Especially the three lines at the bottom. Very symbolic.

  2. this poem is very rare to be one of my poems cos this one can be named so easily. I usually have problems in making names.. this one is easy to name.
