A/N: This is my first thing ever for Rent, and will be different poems about and from different character's points of view. This is the first. It doesn't rhyme!

"I'll Live"

By Mark Cohen

My friends slowly die around me

I watch them grow weaker every day.

They all say I'm so lucky

But they don't see what I see

When they move on and end up together

I'll live on alone

When their hearts all expire and last breaths are taken

I'll live on alone

When grass covers their last remains

I'll live on alone

And when it is my time

And my own breath falters

I'll die alone.

A/N: Review, but be gentle!
