My breath comes short and rapid.
The air cuts my throat.
My body retches and shakes.
I shiver.
Cold, wet, tears stream down my face.
My gray eyes are rimmed with red.
My lips mouth “No,” but the sound is lost.
My heart is gone,
Shattered into millions of pieces.
I watch the world forget.
I am left to remember.
The pain never weakens, but
I have grown strong enough to bear it.

Poetry is like a blues solo on the guitar. It can be realitivly easy to start and once you have the tempo and key down it is very easy to work your way through the solo, but if you have a bad ending that doesn't leaves the listener hanging that's what they'll remember. Your poems flow perfectly right up til the end. Just like the other one, you end it in an akward way... "The pain never weakens, but i have grown strong enough to bear it". Why did you say "but"? You weren't contradicting anything. And instead of you lips mouthing "no", i would go with "help" or something more relavent (spelling).
