Screaming inside not wanting to do it out loud.
Knowing he'd leave her if she made a sound.
Loving him was a slow form of suicide.
His life were the rules by which she had to abide.
So she went upstairs and grabbed a gun.
Knowing inside her what had to be done.
She looked at his bitter sweet smile one last time.
He never thought she'd end her own life.
He said it was like something strong possesed her.
He kept asking himself what had occured.
So she sent him a message from the grey sky above,
saying she was possesed, possesed by his love.

This is an amazing poem and it's very deep and true. Suicide is a sad factor in life and sometimes we feel it's the only way out. I love it!

Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand. I don&#039;t care, I&#039;m still free, you can&#039;t take the sky from me. Take me out to the black. Tell &#039;em I ain&#039;t coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, but you can&#039;t take the sky from me.

This is powerful. Maybe you could use less words to make it stronger. When i was reading it I starting singing it. It became a wonderful song. Ballads are always great songs- like The Beatles' songs.
