pretend you're here
Try to keep ahold of you
Try not to lose you
Though I already have

I've watched everyone I love leave me alone
I'm tired of that
I'd rather hold on to everyone I love
But that would be
Selfish of me
I have to let them go
It's part of life
But God, why does my life have to suck
so bad? [comments] => 9 [counter] => 287 [topic] => 48 [informant] => creed [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 34 [ratings] => 10 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

It was OK. Wasn't the best it could be. Looks like you didn't spend too long on it. I gave it a 2. KEEP TRYING!

Life hurts so that when faced with the same situation on the flip side that we won't hurt others. This is a hard answer even for me to accept sometimes.

I like the way it starts, the feeling of it. You lose it towards the end though. You explain instead of paint the picture.
