You

I understand everything that you've said to me
How can I not, I replay it constantly.
My deepest fear has now come true,
But still I will fight to hold on to you.

Like a rope been broken my emotions are frayed,
And with all my will I refuse to fade
Into the darkness of one taken from two,
And still I try to hold on to you.

Hope, not simply an illusion of the human mind
Hope, the worn out tool that will help me find
Something to grasp, something I can cling to.
I'm too weak to hold on to you.

One thing: The title could explain more of the poem... just a suggestion. "You" is undefined.

I agree with elise about the rope part. this poem is captivating. your style is real and the way you let the reader touch it is talent!

I read other peoples comments and I feel frightened. I enjoy your poetry but have nothing wonderful like that to say. Let me try; this poem is a great depiction of humanity. We all have felt it at times. Well written. It comes across clear.

I love the comparison between you and the rope, such perfect meaning. Great write.

I really do love the way you are with words. But you were never weak, just misguided. And I'm sure they'll forgive and forget. :)
