A Poem - Almost Goodbye
Suffocating,
leave me alone
give me time to think
leave me alone

Paralyzed,
this is a disaster
I am on the brink

that you can't take back
Shivering,
I am frozen
from the empathy you lack
Distorted,
everything's twisted
will you ever see things clear?
Gone,
that's where I'll be
watch me disappear

Great poem. I love how you started each stanza with a verb to draw the reader in. And I can totally relate to the subject, unfortunately.
