Authors note

Hey people who read this poem,

I wrote this one because someone asked me to. The theme is sad and depressing.

Enjoy.

How I Lost My Life

In the mist of my mind

Lies a knowledge

That is natural and instinctual

As breathing and seeing

I tried to protect you with my life

To save you from the dangers

Of this cruel world we lived in

I suffered so you didn't have to

I took all the hate

And gave you all the love in me

My soul died

When you did

Never giving me your laughter

Or seeing your happy face

Blood on my hands

I killed in your name

For taking away

My reason to live

Flesh of mine

Blood of mine

Love of mine

My life

My child

Is gone now

Review and tell me what you thought of it please. And if anyone as a theme for me they want, I could try and write one up.
